The role
From Amazon's own posting.
Do you love building scalable data pipelines and engineering reliable datasets? Are you excited by the opportunity to create foundational data infrastructure that powers decision-making across AWS? Do you want to work in a fast-paced environment, solving data challenges at the intersection of engineering and business impact?
If so, we are looking for a Data Engineer to join the Strategic Customer Engagements team to develop a scalable data analytics platform. The Strategic Customer Engagements Deal Team works with our customers on commercial private pricing opportunities to meet their desired business outcomes while ensuring alignment with AWS business objectives.
In this role, you will design and manage large-scale data systems using cloud-native approaches to scalability and automation. You will build robust pipelines, integrate new data sources, and deliver reliable data products that support analytics, machine learning, and AI-powered systems. Working closely with business intelligence engineers and product teams, you will work backwards from business questions to build solutions that meet customer needs. The role will leverage generative AI and AWS services to raise the bar on how the team consumes and acts on data, and to build the next generation of AI-enabled data platforms.
