Amazon Economists build econometric models using our world-class data systems and apply approaches from a variety of skillsets – applied macro/time series, microeconomics, econometric theory, empirical IO, health, labor, public economics, and related fields are highly valued. You will work in a fast-moving environment to solve business problems as part of a cross-functional team embedded within a business unit or a central science and economics organization. You will be expected to develop techniques that apply econometrics to large datasets, address quantitative problems, and contribute to the design of automated systems across the company.
