Job Description

DESCRIPTION

The Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) and Supply Chain by Amazon (SCA) enable third-party sellers to use Amazon’s world-class science and logistics infrastructure to supply and fulfill customers worldwide with unprecedented fast delivery promise to customer. In doing so, sellers spend more time building great products, delight customers and grow their business.

The FBA team is looking for an Economist with strong causal inference and econometrics skills to join our cross-domain group of economists, applied scientists, research scientists, and data scientists. You will be part of a high-impact team building economic and causal models, developing incentive and recommendation systems, conducting experiments to evaluate and (re)design products and policies, quantifying the impact of FBA and SCA workflows, as well as designing and evaluating economic mechanisms to address the information asymmetries between sellers and Amazon. This person will be collaborating closely with business and software teams to research, innovate, and solve high impact economics problems facing the worldwide FBA business.

We are seeking someone who can thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy, and fun-to-work environment, where the team delivers value incrementally and frequently. We value highly technical people who know their subject matter deeply and are willing to learn new areas. We look for individuals who know how to deliver results and show a desire to develop themselves, their colleagues, and their careers.

Key job responsibilities
- Develop causal models to solve diverse and complex economic/business problems faced in FBA/SCA inventory and capacity management systems.
- Build economic, statistical, and predictive models at scale to enhance our understanding of seller behavior, preferences, and dynamics.
- Provide data-driven guidance on strategic SCA related policy and economic questions.
- Propose innovative and rigorous ways of collecting data about our sellers’ expectations and actions to help developing new products/services for our sellers.
- Design and conduct randomized experiments to validate theories and improve understanding of Amazon’s third-party seller domain and supply chain.
- Develop mechanisms to align millions of sellers’ decisions with those of customers’ needs through better coordinating inventory, inbound, and capacity related decisions.
- Collaborate with product managers, scientists, and software developers to incorporate models into production processes and influence senior leaders.

About the team
Sellers play a vital role in Amazon’s supply chain, integral to our mission of offering the Earth’s largest selection and lowest prices. FBA is a service that enables third-party sellers to outsource order fulfillment to Amazon, and leverage Amazon’s world-class facilities to provide customers Prime delivery promise. By partnering with Amazon, sellers benefit from cost-effective solutions that leverage our scale and technology, gain access to Prime members worldwide, increase their sales, and have more time to continue inventing amazing products for customers. With commitment to taking on even more of the supply chain and operational complexities on behalf of our selling partners, Amazon introduced Supply Chain by Amazon (SCA), an end-to-end, fully automated suite of supply chain services. This comprehensive solution empowers sellers to quickly and reliably transport products from manufacturing sites to customers worldwide. Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD) is a pivotal service in SCA that provides best-in-class bulk storage and distribution services to sellers, ensuring they remain well-stocked across all their sale and fulfillment channels while reducing the total supply chain costs. The FBA team is the core group in charge of fulfillment, inventory management, pricing, and a diverse range of operational recommendation services for sellers, as well as building the internal resource management systems. We work to learn seller behavior, understand seller experience, build automated assistants to sellers, recommend right actions to sellers, design seller policies and incentives, and develop science products and services that empower third-party sellers to grow their businesses. To do so, we build and innovate science solutions at the intersection of machine learning, statistics, economics, operations research, and data analytics. We work full-stack, from foundational backend systems to future-forward user interfaces. Our culture is centered on rapid prototyping, rigorous experimentation, and data-driven decision-making.
