Description

Retail Pricing Shared Services

Retail Pricing Shared Services sets prices for all Amazon formats, earning our Customers’ trust with consistently low prices. We publish 5Bn+ weekly prices for 20+ Amazon formats (Retail, S3P, Fresh, Promotions, Amazon Business, and others), own new pricing strategies and deliver them reliably at scale, and prevent errors in our prices. We own a central pricing infrastructure and federate it for our client formats, and utilize ML to automate our pricing decisions.

Why would I join this team?

Ownership and Innovation: we create and own our vision and roadmap for Price Publishing, Pricing Labs, Quantity Limits, Pricing Simulation and other technical systems. We don’t wait for requirements for “What is a great Customer experience from our prices?” – we build our own requirements, systems and roadmaps. We do not feel constrained by status quo, and we create each year new solutions that reinvent our architecture and processes to delight our Customers.

Diversity and career growth: We are a multi-cultural team that nurtures diversity of thought and manner. We are a cross-functional organization with job functions SDE/PMT/TPM/DE/BIE. Owning complex problems translates into SVP-level visibility for our team. We have a culture of growth based on mentorship, trust, and creating “stretch” opportunities for people aspiring to next levels.

Quality: we take pride in the high quality of our work. We think our codebases and artefacts are our reflection. We don’t compromise the long-term health of our business, systems and teams for the sake of short-term wins. We invest over the years in the stability of our software, data, product and science; we deploy simulation and automation to reduce our operational overhead.

Key job responsibilities

What would I do in this team?

You own a global mission with large Customer impact: in this role, you determine and set the best prices for Amazon Customers in a key business area (e.g. Fresh or Retail). One of our technical leaders has this to say: “one thing which made me decide to join the Pricing team was impact on customers. Even with minor changes, Pricing makes a big impact on Amazon customers. This is something unique, not always available in other teams”.

Ask critical questions: what seems impossible right now, but is actually ready for disruption? What can I do for my Customer to love their prices – not just to accept them?

Automate away human intervention. We believe humans are ill-equipped to handle prices manually, and we are building a better world for our Customers with automation and ML.
