Job Description

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is obsessed with ensuring the success of our customers. To this end, AWS is building the industry’s best-trained sales force. As the number of AWS sellers and cloud services continues to expand rapidly, AWS is re-inventing how to train and enable its sellers. AWS’s Worldwide Field Enablement (WWFE) organization is driving this transition by pioneering highly innovative, multi-modal enablement that is able to support our field’s diverse learning styles.

WWFE is looking for a results-oriented Sr. Data Engineer to help AWS build our next generation enablement data management solution.

The Senior Data Engineer will:

• Collaborate with WWFE's business leaders and economists to identify data engineering requirements
• Lead the technical design of WWFE's reporting, analysis and data management solutions
• Collaborate with AWS’s Business Technology & Solutions team to leverage best practices and partner on solution designs
• Lead and coach junior data engineers on the best practices
• Build robust and scalable data integration (ETL) pipelines using SQL/EMR/Python
• Work with other AWS Region Services Business Intelligence Teams to integrate into existing data warehouses and plan for scaling into data lake solutions
• Design, develop and maintain scaled, automated, user-friendly systems that supports Business Intelligence Engineers to build reports and dashboards
• Improve overall data architecture using innovative approaches and new processes from AWS stack or open source
• Recognize and adopt best practices in reporting and analysis: data integrity, test design, analysis, validation, and documentation

A day in the life

As a WWFE Sr. Data Engineer, you will be empowered to innovate on a daily-basis with access to any tools you believe will do the job at hand best. You will be supported by a diverse team of fellow DEs, BIs, SDEs, and PMs. Your work will directly enable the data solutions for all of WWFE and will include, though not limited to, setting up and managing data infrastructure (Redshift, Aurora, Airflow, S3 etc.), enabling data self-serve for tech stakeholders and developing the backend logic (typically in Python) for our in-house tools supporting the WWFE business. You will also coach, mentor and learn.
