Data Scientist

What is the most relevant business data for AWS leadership? What are the most important insights in this data? Are we investing enough in our infrastructure, or too much? How much new workloads do our new products drive into AWS? Which initiatives help our customers utilize AWS the most? How do our customers react to changes in prices, purchase options or products?

The Central AWS Econ team is dedicated to answering these questions using quantitative, economic and statistical methods. We develop cutting edge data pipelines, build accurate predictive models, and provide insights to executive leaders throughout the company. We are looking for a talented, driven, and analytical researcher to help us answer these (and many more) questions.

The work will require collaborating with Data Scientists, BIEs and Data Engineers across AWS.
