About the team

PXTCS combines economics, behavioral science, statistics, and machine learning to proactively identify mechanisms and process improvements that improve both Amazon's operations and the experience of every Amazonian. Its engineering teams take science-driven insights and models - spanning areas like benefits, compensation, recruiting, voice of employee, management practices, and organizational culture - and turn them into production systems operating at Amazon's scale. PXTCS is an interdisciplinary group where engineering, applied science, and product work side-by-side, and where this team's output directly shapes how Amazon supports its workforce.
