We hire the world's brightest minds, offering them a fast paced, technologically sophisticated and friendly work environment. Economists in the Forecasting, Macroeconomics & Finance field document, interpret and forecast Amazon business dynamics. This track is well suited for economists adept at combining times-series statistical methods with strong economic analysis and intuition. This track could be a good fit for candidates with research experience in: macroeconometrics and/or empirical macroeconomics; international macroeconomics; time-series econometrics; forecasting; financial econometrics and/or empirical finance; and the use of micro and panel data to improve and validate traditional aggregate models. Economists at Amazon are expected to work directly with our senior management and scientists from other fields on key business problems faced across Amazon, including retail, cloud computing, third party merchants, search, Kindle, streaming video, and operations. The Forecasting, Macroeconomics & Finance field utilizes methods at the frontier of economics to develop formal models to understand the past and the present, predict the future, and identify relevant risks and opportunities. For example, we analyze the internal and external drivers of growth and profitability and how these drivers interact with the customer experience in the short, medium and long-term. We build econometric models of dynamic systems, using our world class data tools, formalizing problems using rigorous science to solve business issues and further delight customers.

We're looking for a Research Scientist to join a team that builds the science behind how Amazon supports its 1.5M+ employees - from forecasting demand across HR services to optimizing how work gets routed and assigned in real time. You'll own high-impact operations research and causal inference work that directly reduces costs and improves the employee experience at global scale. In this role, you will: - Design and build simulation and optimization models that automate workforce scheduling, hiring, and task assignment across Amazon's HR contact centers and back-office operations - Develop causal inference frameworks to measure the true impact of policy changes, product launches, and AI-driven initiatives on employee experience and operational efficiency - Collaborate with senior leaders to translate complex analytical findings into actionable strategies that influence staffing, routing, and resource allocation decisions affecting thousands of associates - Push the boundaries of what's possible by combining operations research with machine learning and generative AI to solve novel workforce optimization problems This isn't a role where you'll be running standard analyses on repeat. You'll be building novel solutions - like contact center simulators that replicate real-world operations, scheduling optimizers that replace manual processes, and experiment frameworks that credibly quantify the impact of large-scale organizational changes. Your work will directly inform decisions made by VP and Director-level leaders who set the strategy for how Amazon supports its employees at scale. About the team We are a team of economists, research scientists, and data scientists within Amazon's People Experience and Technology Finance organization. Our mission is to make Amazon's employee support services smarter, faster, and more efficient through rigorous science - from forecasting models that drive hiring plans to simulation engines that optimize how HR services are delivered to Amazon's global workforce of 1.5M+ people. Our work runs in production, informs weekly planning decisions, and shapes resource allocation at scale. We value intellectual rigor, ownership, and collaboration — publishing at internal science conferences, maintaining shared codebases, and holding each other to high technical standards. You'll have real ownership from day one: framing problems, building solutions, and presenting results to senior leaders who act on your recommendations.

Amazon is seeking a world-class Sr. Applied Scientist to lead the development of next-generation object tracking systems for autonomous robots operating at Amazon's scale. In this role, you will architect robust, real-time tracking pipelines that fuse information across multiple sensor modalities — combining the rigor of classical estimation theory with the power of modern learning-based approaches to deliver tracking systems that are accurate, reliable, and scalable in complex, dynamic environments. Amazon is on a mission to redefine the future of automation — and we're looking for exceptional talent to help lead the way. We are building the next generation of advanced robotic systems that seamlessly blend cutting-edge AI, sophisticated control systems, and novel mechanical design to create adaptable, intelligent automation solutions capable of operating safely alongside humans in dynamic, real-world environments. We leverage the power of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and advanced robotics to solve some of the most complex operational challenges at a scale unlike anywhere else in the world. Our fleet of robots spans hundreds of facilities globally, working in sophisticated coordination to deliver on our promise of customer excellence — and we're just getting started.
