The team processes petabytes of data daily, leveraging machine learning and real-time reporting to detect fraudulent activities. This position requires a passion for data engineering and the ability to thrive in ambiguous environments. The engineer will work with a modern, cloud-native architecture designed for petabyte-class batch processing.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of 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
  • 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language
  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience

Responsibilities

  • Architect and build petabyte-scale data pipelines using various AWS technologies.
  • Deliver high-quality datasets that fuel machine learning models and business rule engines.
  • Design and implement a Smart Query and Data Access Analyzer for efficient data retrieval.
  • Leverage Amazon Bedrock and large language models to create natural language SQL interfaces.
  • Build interactive dashboards that provide real-time visibility into fraud trends and data quality metrics.
  • Design and maintain a comprehensive, searchable data catalog and dictionary.
  • Implement automated data validation and anomaly detection frameworks.
  • Secure sensitive data through encryption and fine-grained access controls.
  • Build observability into data pipelines with proactive alerting and performance tracking.

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.
