About the teamYou’ll join Pricing Error Detection (PED), part of Amazon's Pricing Shared Services. Our job is simple to say and hard to do: make sure no customer ever sees a price that's wrong, too low for Amazon to sustain or too high for customers to trust. We review hundreds of millions of price decisions every week, before and after they go live, across Amazon's marketplaces worldwide. To do that, we build LLM-based agents that check prices against live signals from across the web, and machine learning models that judge whether each price makes sense. Together they catch errors, correct them, and stop them from happening again. If you want to put the latest GenAI to work at Amazon scale, where every decision protects both customers and the business, we'd love to talk.

Experience programming with at least one software programming language
Preferred Qualifications
