By giving customers more of what they want - low prices, vast selection, and convenience - Amazon.com continues to grow and evolve as a world-class e-commerce platform.

You should be an autonomous self-starter who thrives on implementing creative approaches and dealing with the intricate complexity of large data sets. You should love partnering with internal tech teams to build a robust data engineering platform. You should be analytical, creative, and passionate about building and maintaining best-in-class data infrastructures.

Key functions of this role:
