Job ID: 2849247 | Amazon.com Services LLC Do you want to use your expertise in translating innovative science into impactful products to improve the lives and work of over a million people worldwide? If you do, People eXperience Technology Central Science (PXTCS) would love to talk to you about how to make that a reality. PXTCS is an interdisciplinary team that uses economics, behavioral science, statistics, and machine learning to identify products, mechanisms, and process improvements that both improve Amazonian’s wellbeing and their ability to deliver value for Amazon’s customers. We work with HR teams across Amazon to make Amazon PXT the most scientific human resources organization in the world. You set the standard for scientific excellence and make decisions that affect the way we build and integrate algorithms.

You are a hands-on scientific leader. Your solutions are exemplary in terms of algorithm design, clarity, model structure, efficiency, and extensibility. You tackle intrinsically hard problems, acquiring expertise as needed. You decompose complex problems into straightforward solutions. You amplify your impact by leading scientific reviews within your organization or at your location. You scrutinize and review experimental design, modeling, verification, and other research procedures. You probe assumptions, illuminate pitfalls, and foster shared understanding. You align teams toward coherent strategies. You educate, keeping the scientific community up to date on advanced techniques, state-of-the-art approaches, the latest technologies, and trends.
