Data Scientist II, Data Scientist, Decision Science
Posted Updated
What will customers want from Amazon Devices one, two, or three years from now? As a Data Scientist II on our Devices forecasting team, you will answer that question by building econometric and machine learning models that project long-term demand, assess the incrementality of new products, and quantify willingness to pay for specific features. Your analysis will directly shape portfolio decisions, helping product managers decide what to build next. This is a team that is investing in AI to accelerate how science informs business strategy, making now a particularly exciting time to join.
Key job responsibilities
- Build and validate econometric and machine learning models that generate long-term demand forecasts for Amazon Devices, selecting the right methodology based on data characteristics and business context.
- Assess the incrementality of new products and quantify willingness to pay for product features, translating model outputs into clear narratives that help product managers adjust their portfolio strategy.
- Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and business stakeholders to scope analytical projects, define metrics, and identify the data requirements needed to answer ambiguous forecasting questions.
- Communicate findings to technical and non-technical audiences through clear documentation, effective visualizations, and well-structured presentations that drive informed decisions.
- Mentor less experienced data scientists through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and active participation in scientific discussions and team planning.
A day in the life
You might spend your morning refining a demand forecast model, testing how a new product feature variable improves prediction accuracy. After lunch, you could be walking product managers through your incrementality analysis and aligning on what the numbers mean for their roadmap. Later, you might review a teammate's willingness-to-pay study or experiment with an AI-based approach to accelerate your modeling pipeline. Your work moves between deep independent analysis and collaborative sessions where you translate complex results into actionable recommendations.
