A day in the life
As a Data Engineer II, you'll spend your time architecting and building large-scale data solutions that support analytics and insights across Amazon. You might start your day reviewing business requirements from stakeholders, then transition into designing data pipelines that ingest information from our catalog, inventory, and customer order systems in real time. You'll collaborate with peer engineers to evaluate different technical approaches, write and test code using tools like AWS Redshift, Spark, and Hive, and document your solutions so others can understand and build upon your work. Beyond your core responsibilities, you'll have opportunities to guide junior engineers through complex problems and contribute to discussions about which tools and technologies best serve our evolving needs.
