Culver City, California, United States Amazon Full time

Amazon is investing heavily in building a world-class advertising business, strategically important to Amazon's Retail and Marketplace businesses for driving long-term growth.

Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Economist to help translate cutting-edge econometrics and machine learning research into production solutions. The individual will have the opportunity to shape the technical and strategic vision of a highly ambiguous problem space at the intersection of Amazon's Stores and Advertising businesses.

The mission of the Stores Ads Science team is to identify opportunities to jointly optimize Amazon's Stores and Advertising business, enhancing the usage of advertising signals in Stores' decision-making and vice versa to drive long-term economic value to shoppers, sellers/vendors, and Amazon.

Some of our work includes measuring ads impact and shopping content incrementality to improve shopper experience, developing the science of explaining seller/vendor inter-related decisions between Stores and Ads (e.g., pricing, Sponsored Ads participation) to optimize fees and incentives, and making Stores' traffic acquisition strategies aware of shoppers' and advertisers' onsite advertising behavior.

Main Responsibilities
  • Function as a technical lead to shape the strategic vision and the science roadmap of a highly ambiguous problem space.
  • Develop economic theory and deliver econometrics and machine learning models to unlock new opportunities for jointly optimizing sellers'/vendors' decision-making between Stores and Ads.
  • Design, execute, and analyze experiments to verify the efficacy of different scientific solutions in production.
  • Partner with cross-team technical contributors (scientists, software engineers, product managers) to implement the solution in production.
Requirements
  • PhD in economics or equivalent.
  • Experience in building analytic or scientific data products or solutions.
  • Experience in econometrics (e.g., program evaluation, forecasting, time series, panel data, or high dimensional problems), economic theory, and quantitative methods.

Estimated salary: $160,000 - $220,000 per year.
