Amazon Customer Service (CS) Data Intelligence builds the data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) foundations for CS to ensure Amazon delivers the best customer service possible. CS Economics sits within CS DI and contributes to the CS knowledge base and decision frameworks. CS Economics seeks economists to apply economic methods to solve business problems. The ideal candidate will work with engineers and applied scientists to design models that leverage large scale and unstructured data, design scalable agents for non-tech CS partners to understand the impact of their actions, and propose mechanism designs to robustly match customers to our services. CS Economics is looking for optimistic critical-thinkers who combine a strong technical economic toolbox with a desire to learn from other disciplines, and who know how to execute and deliver on big ideas as part of an interdisciplinary technical team. Ideal candidates enjoy working in a team setting with individuals from diverse disciplines and backgrounds. They will work with teammates to develop scientific models and conduct data analysis, modeling, and experimentation that is necessary for estimating and validating models. They will work closely with engineering teams to develop scalable data resources to support rapid insights, and take successful models and findings into production as new products and services. They will be customer-centric and will communicate scientific approaches and findings to business leaders, listening to and incorporate their feedback, and delivering successful scientific solutions. Key job responsibilities - Design and conduct rigorous evaluations of CS actions - Develop experiments to evaluate product launches - Communicate complex findings to business stakeholders in clear, actionable terms - Work with engineering teams to develop scalable tools that automate and streamline evaluation processes A day in the life Work with teammates to apply economic methods to business problems, e.g., identify the appropriate research question and identification strategy, write code to estimate heterogeneous treatment effects or conduct experiment analysis, write and present a document with findings to business leaders. We collaborate with partner teams within and outside of CS throughout the process, from understanding their challenges, to developing a research agenda that will address those challenges, to help them implement solutions. About the team Amazon Customer Service (CS) Economics provides estimates and measures of the causal impact of CS actions on costs and benefits. We build agents and guide leadership to establish processes to scale valid experimentation, causal inference, and mechanism design.
