Research Scientist, Pricing Science

About the job

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 team builds the machine learning (ML) systems that power Amazon's pricing decisions at scale: demand lift models, customer lifetime value (LTV) frameworks, and the experimentation infrastructure that validates whether pricing changes actually work.

We're looking for a Research Scientist to own causal inference at the intersection of ML and pricing experimentation. Our team has identified a real gap: the methodological bridge between econometric analysis and production-scale ML pipelines needs a practitioner who lives in both worlds. You'll build conditional average treatment effect (CATE) estimation models, design analysis workflows for pricing experiments, and develop reusable causal ML infrastructure that the broader team — including non-ML scientists — can rely on. If you're a scientist who wants to tackle 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.
