About this role

Sr. Applied Scientist, PXT Central Science Bellevue, Washington, USA Every day, hundreds of thousands of Amazon associates show up to fulfill the promise we make to our customers. Behind the workforce decisions that support them - staffing, retention, scheduling, development - there should be science that doesn't just describe what happened, but explains why it happened and predicts what comes next. That's the work we do. PXT Central Science (PXTCS) is Amazon's internal research organization dedicated to bringing scientific rigor to people and workforce decisions at global scale. Our team sits within the part of PXTCS that focuses on Amazon's Tier 1 hourly populations - the associates at the heart of Amazon's operations. We are a multidisciplinary group of 15 economists, data scientists, data engineers, and research scientists united by a single mission: to transform complex operational challenges into actionable insights through rigorous causal analysis and predictive modeling that empowers data-driven workforce decisions. We are building something new - causal predictive models that go beyond traditional forecasting. Our models don't just tell leaders what will happen; they reveal why it will happen and what levers they can pull to change the outcome. This is the frontier where causal inference meets modern machine learning, and we need a scientist who can help us push it forward. As a Senior Applied Scientist on this team, you will be the connective tissue between innovative research and real-world impact. You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with economists who deeply understand the causal mechanisms driving workforce dynamics
