Description

The AWS Analytics Engineering (AAE) organization is the analytics backbone of AWS — we build and operate the data platform that powers business decisions across more than 150 AWS services. Every insight surfaced to AWS product leadership, from service adoption trends to revenue drivers, flows through systems our team designs, builds, and maintains.

We operate at massive scale — processing petabytes of data daily through thousands of jobs consisting of transformations, reporting queries, ingestions, and infrastructure management scripts. As AWS launches new services and features at an accelerating pace, the need for a unified, self-service Data Ingestion Platform has become critical.

We are seeking a Data Engineer to join our Data Ingestion Platform team. In this role, you will design, build, and operate the next-generation ingestion service that automatically onboards data from any new AWS service or feature at launch — without manual intervention. You will build scalable ingestion frameworks capable of handling petabytes of data, implement big data procurement pipelines, and establish the governance, compliance, and audit controls that ensure every data flowing through the platform meets AWS’s security and data integrity standards.

The platform you build must scale to N services — meaning that as AWS’s service portfolio grows, your ingestion infrastructure grows with it. You will work on event-driven architectures, self-registration mechanisms, and configuration-driven onboarding so that new data sources are ingested automatically, reliably, and with full lineage and audit trails.

The ideal candidate is a strong engineer who is passionate about building platforms, thinks in terms of frameworks and abstractions rather than one-off pipelines, and is excited about building the foundational layer that enables all of AAE’s analytics capabilities.
