Description

Amazon Web Services has been the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. AWS offers over 100 fully featured services to millions of active customers around the world—including the fastest-growing startups, largest enterprises, and leading government agencies—to power their infrastructure. Business Product & Operations (BPO) is a diverse team that supports infrastructure and other foundational initiatives that span and support Sales, Marketing, and Global Services Operations teams within AWS. We are looking for a hands-on Data Engineer with experience developing and delivering data platforms as we build the next iteration of our data-driven ecosystem, with a focus on enhancing and expanding our Phoenix data product. Come join a team at the forefront of transforming how AWS does business with its key customers.

As a Data Engineer in AWS, you will partner with cross-functional teams, including Business Intelligence Engineers, Analysts, Software Developers, and Product Managers, to develop scalable and maintainable data pipelines on both structured and unstructured data. You will play a crucial role in achieving our ambitious objectives, including establishing Phoenix as AWS' premier order management and orchestration engine, transforming BPO into a fully data-driven organization, and centralizing BPO data assets while enabling self-serve analytics.

The ideal candidate has strong business judgment, a good sense of architectural design, excellent written and documentation skills, and experience with big data technologies (Spark/Hive, Redshift, EMR, and other AWS technologies). This role involves overseeing existing pipelines as well as developing brand new ones to support key initiatives. You'll work on implementing comprehensive data governance frameworks, increasing adoption of advanced analytics and AI/ML tools, and migrating data and ETL processes to more efficient systems. Additionally, you'll contribute to implementing self-serve analytics platforms, optimizing data pipeline creation processes, and integrating data from multiple sources to support BPO's growing data needs.

The operating environment is fast-paced and dynamic, with a strong team-oriented and welcoming culture. To thrive, you must be detail-oriented, enthusiastic, and flexible. In return, you will gain tremendous experience with the latest big data technologies and exposure to various use cases to improve process effectiveness, customer experience, and automation.
