Amazons third-party marketplace is a multibillion-dollar global ecosystem connecting customers and sellers across the world through millions of transactions annually. The Seller Fee Science Team integrates economic modeling machine learning and artificial intelligence to guide business fee strategy ensure fees are accurately computed for millions of products and improves the seller experience with AI tools that support any fee related contact (understanding audit and dispute). We build the scientific foundation that empowers sellers to grow their businesses with clarity and confidence.
Our team brings together world-class economists physicists mathematicians and computer scientists to tackle diverse challenging problems that require theoretical rigor and deliver real-world impact. For example precision measurement of difficult to measure products large-scale simulation of sales inventory and policy changes as well as leveraging natural language understanding and automated reasoning to interpret policy generate code resolve disputes audit fees and respond to sellers at meaninful scale.
As an applied scientist on our team this role will focus on the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence to predict and reconcile measurement of products globally. This blends together statistical modeling application of NLP image processing classical machine learning cost-benefit analysis causal modeling and optimization. Your work will shape not only how fees are implemented but how they are interpreted experienced and trusted at scale. You will partner closely with engineers and product partners to take your solutions from research to production.
We are seeking scientists who are motivated by first principles disciplined experimentation and the technical challenge of deploying ideas at global scale. This is an opportunity to work on consequential problems where mathematical rigor meets real-world complexity and where your models algorithms and systems will directly influence the experience of millions of sellers. If you are driven to build elegant solutions to hard problemsand to see them operate in production at meaningful scalewe would welcome the opportunity to build with you.
