Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

​​​​​Economists at Amazon partner closely with business stakeholders, scientists, and engineers to solve problems across all Amazon business units. Embedded within a business unit or a central science team, you will build models on large-scale data systems to shape decisions that reach hundreds of millions of customers. Increasingly, economists work at the frontier of AI and Reinforcement Learning, combining causal and structural methods with machine learning to build and evaluate AI-driven systems.
​​​​
​​​We value a broad range of applied econometrics skills: reduced-form and observational causal inference; structural estimation of preferences and strategic effects; forecasting, macroeconomics, and finance; all with strong foundations in statistical methods. Applied micro, empirical IO, mechanism design, health, labor, and public economics are all highly valued.

Basic Qualifications
PhD in Economics, Finance, Quantitative Marketing, Operations Research, or a closely related field.

​​Preferred Qualifications
We are hiring for all experience levels and fields but are focused on new 2027 PhDs.
Strong track record in research, with a demonstrated ability to leverage AI creatively to improve its quality and innovation.
Effective communication with both economist and non-economist audiences.​
