    Are you excited to figure out not just what is happening but why — and to help build a delivery business that's still taking shape? We're looking for a Data Scientist who thrives on ambiguity and wants to own measurement, modeling, and experimentation across how customers experience Amazon's drone-delivery service. Your work will span the full data-science toolkit: designing and analyzing experiments (A/B tests), deep-diving customer-experience issues to find root causes, building propensity and behavioral models, forecasting demand, and applying causal methods to understand what actually drives our metrics. You'll work with large, evolving operational and customer datasets; partner closely with data engineers, scientists, and business stakeholders; and translate rigorous analysis into clear, decision-ready recommendations. Because the business is early and moving fast, you'll help define the right problems as much as solve them — with real room to explore new methods and shape how we measure and improve as we scale. If you're a curious, collaborative problem-solver who's energized by turning complex, ambiguous data into insight and clear direction, we'd love to hear from you. Key job responsibilities - Design and execute data science solutions using a range of methodologies—including machine learning, statistical modeling, and generative AI techniques—to address business problems where the approach is not immediately clear. - Acquire, transform, and validate large, evolving operational and customer datasets dive deep to investigate anomalies and data quality; and partner with data engineers to bring models and metrics into production. - Design, run, and analyze experiments (A/B and quasi-experimental studies) to measure impact, size opportunities, and guide product and operational decisions. - Deep-dive customer-experience issues and metric movements to identify root causes — the why behind the what, including how our metrics and their drivers relate and translate findings into clear, actionable recommendations. - Communicate complex analyses to technical and non-technical audiences, earn the trust of senior leaders, and influence roadmap and prioritization decisions with your recommendations. - Own your workstream end-to-end, from problem definition through delivery and ongoing measurement partnering across data engineering, product, and business teams as the business scales. A day in the life You might start your morning reviewing model performance metrics before joining a working session with engineers to refine a data pipeline. After lunch, you could be prototyping a new machine learning approach, running experiments, and comparing results against baseline models. Later, you might present preliminary findings to business partners, translating statistical outputs into plain-language recommendations. You will regularly participate in team discussions, scientific reviews, and mentoring conversations that keep you learning and growing.

    Pricing is one of the most consequential decisions Amazon makes — and the science behind it needs to be causally rigorous, not just predictive. The P2 Optimization Science (P2OS) team builds the machine learning systems that power Amazon's pricing decisions at scale: demand lift models, customer lifetime value frameworks, and the experimentation infrastructure that validates whether our pricing changes actually work. We're hiring an Applied Scientist to own causal inference at the intersection of ML and pricing experimentation. This role exists because our team has identified a real gap: the methodological bridge between econometric analysis (owned by our economists) and production-scale ML pipelines (owned by our engineers) needs a practitioner who lives in both worlds. You'll build CATE estimation models, design analysis workflows for pricing weblabs, and develop the reusable causal ML infrastructure that the broader team — including non-ML scientists — can rely on. This is not a research role. The bias here is toward shipping production-quality causal pipelines with real downstream business impact. You'll measure success by what changes in LTV estimates, what pricing errors your models help avoid, and whether the economists on your team can actually use what you build. If you're a scientist who wants to work on hard causal identification problems in a high-stakes production environment — and who finds satisfaction in making rigorous methods accessible to a broader team — this role is for you. Key job responsibilities * Build causal ML pipelines for pricing — Design, train, evaluate, and deploy end-to-end causal estimation models for pricing use cases. * Own the science on heterogeneous treatment effects — Be the team SME on causal ML methodology: identification strategies, model selection, evaluation standards, and the tradeoffs between econometric and ML approaches to causal estimation. * Support pricing experiment analysis — Contribute causal analysis methodology to pricing weblab and A/B test post-analysis; build reusable tooling that economists can use without requiring ML expertise * Connect model outputs to business outcomes — Define, before writing code, what business metric each model moves; deliver model evaluation reports framed around pricing errors avoided and LTV estimate changes. * Evaluate and adopt novel techniques — Assess applicability of emerging causal inference methods (synthetic DiD, generalized random forests, causal representation learning) to Amazon's pricing context; write internal methodology proposals for adoption * Write internal documentation and methodology papers — Produce at least one internal write-up per half that connects a causal ML technique to a concrete pricing use case; make pipelines extensible and well-documented so other scientists can build on them. * Collaborate across disciplines — Partner closely with the Sr. Economist on identification strategy and causal assumptions; work with SDE and DE partners on production deployment; align with PMs on experiment design requirements A day in the life As an Applied Scientist on the P2OS team, your work directly shapes the prices customers see on hundreds of millions of Amazon products. In a given workweek, you might: * Investigate an optimization anomaly in simulation and trace it back to a model input gap or an unmodeled market dynamic * Design an offline evaluation framework to benchmark competing optimization approaches before committing to online testing * Collaborate with Sr. Economists on the identification strategy for the model you're building for a pricing lab * Present a science proposal for incorporating a new competitiveness or inventory signal into an optimization system * Work cross-team with the experimentation platform team on randomization design. * Develop and write up a novel scientific finding — preparing a paper or technical report for submission to a top-tier venue such as KDD, NeurIPS, or the ACM Conference on Economics and Computation
