Amazon is one of the most popular sites in the US. Our product search engine, one of the most heavily used services in the world, indexes billions of products and serves hundreds of millions of customers world-wide. Our team leads the data science and analytics efforts for the search page and we own multiple aspects of understanding how we can measure customer satisfaction with our experiences. This includes building science based insights and novel metrics to define and track customer focused aspects. We manipulate massive amounts of data, terabytes worth a day, coming from multiple different systems with a high degree of complexity in structure, schema and different levels of quality. We are looking for a data engineer to build and maintain large and complex data pipelines, orchestrated for daily updates with a very high level of senior leadership visibility. These pipelines bring together data from multiple sources with complex structure. You will be creative with ETL techniques to optimize these jobs for performance and cost.
