The team focuses on democratizing access to trusted AWS business data and managing the core enterprise data infrastructure. The role involves designing and building data infrastructure, collaborating with various stakeholders, and improving data processing workflows. Candidates will work with massive datasets and contribute to the development of tools that enhance data discoverability and queryability.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience of new and existing systems
  • 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience
  • 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications
  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
  • Experience operating highly available, distributed systems of data extraction, ingestion, and processing of large data sets
  • Knowledge of data engineering pipelines, cloud solutions, ETL management, databases, visualizations and analytical platforms

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain data infrastructure using software engineering best practices and data management fundamentals.
  • Develop automation and tooling that improves the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of data processing workflows.
  • Design and implement data storage and compute solutions that balance cost, performance, and availability.
  • Own services end to end, participating in on-call rotations and debugging production issues.
  • Collaborate with business owners and internal stakeholders to understand data requirements.
  • Write design documents and participate in architecture reviews to raise the engineering bar.

Benefits

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
