Amazon CEO Andy Jassy.Kevin Dietsch/Getty ImagesAmazon CEO Andy Jassy has said AI will spell both job cuts and increased hiring.Here's how much Amazon pays data scientists, financial analysts, and other key roles.An Amazon software engineer can make as much as $263,700 in base pay, per federal filings.AI is reshaping workforces across tech, including at Amazon.At the cloud and tech giant, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has said the technology will inevitably spell job cuts, as well as increased hiring in areas like robotics and AI.In a June memo, Jassy encouraged staffers to "use and experiment with AI whenever you can," sparking backlash. Staff at certain Amazon subsidiaries must show how they use AI when applying for promotions, Business Insider previously reported.At the same time, Amazon is making a massive AI hiring push, according to data from AI job search platform Jobright. It's advertising for three times as many AI jobs as Meta, Google, and Microsoft, according to the report.Amazon's AI embrace is in line with Jassy's ongoing push to build an increasingly efficient, startup-like workforce. This has manifested in return-to-office, flattening management layers, and revamped pay models to reward high performers.Most recently, the e-commerce giant rolled out a stricter performance review process with culture as a key metric.Amazon has 1.5 million employees and onboarded roughly 11,300 foreign workers in the first quarter of 2025, according to publicly available filings that companies must make when hiring outside of the US.The filings reveal the salaries that Amazon pays for those roles, though the data only refers to foreign hires and doesn't include equity or other benefits that Amazon employees can receive in addition to their base pay.A software engineer working in the company's Amazon Web Services cloud division can pocket as much as $185,000, according to the data, while a software development engineer at Amazon.com can make $263,700.At Amazon.com, data scientists and financial analysts can make as much as $230,900 and $204,028, respectively, while technical product managers can take home as much as $235,200.An Amazon spokesperson told BI that compensation packages are based on role and level and informed by location, performance, and other factors.The spokesperson said compensation is intended to attract and motivate the highest-caliber talent, and the company regularly reviews its packages to ensure they're competitive.Here's what Amazon is paying across key roles that Amazon most frequently hires from abroad, based on applications from the first quarter of 2025.Amazon Data ServicesSoftware Development Engineer: $108,826 to $223,600Amazon Development Center USSoftware Development Engineer: $95,493 to $260,600Amazon Web ServicesBusiness Intelligence Engineer: $96,678 to $176,012Enterprise Account Engineer: $103,605 to $238,965Professional Services: $105,997 to $218,200Software Development Engineer: $84,094 to $223,600Solutions Architect: $112,474 to $225,000Support Engineer-External: $63,835 to $160,000Amazon.com ServicesApplied Scientist: $83,491 to $260,000Business Analyst: $79,518 to $143,100Business Intelligence Engineer: $193,200Data Engineer: $70,262 to $236,344Data Scientist: $92,040 to $230,900Financial Analyst: $94,300 to $204,028Manager, Software Development: $148,950 to $287,700Product Manager: $109,782 to $200,000Product Manager - Technical: $136,843 to $235,200Program Manager: $81,600 to $162,700Quality Assurance Engineer: $86,320 to $185,000Software Development Engineer: $85,384 to $263,700Supply Chain Manager: $77,200 to $168,000System Development Engineer: $105,997 to $198,000Technical Program Manager: $108,098 to $231,400Read the original article on Business Insider
