After building a proven Data Mesh architecture across thousands of users, we are re-imagining our data ecosystem as an AI-First, Native-AI platform that powers the next generation of intelligent financial automation. FinAuto team at Amazon is looking for a Data Engineer to play a critical role in building AI-ready, high-scale financial data products that enable autonomous insights, intelligent workflows, and data-driven decision making at enterprise scale. This is a unique opportunity to help shape a Native-AI data foundation by building highly discoverable, governed, and reusable data products that power analytics, machine learning, generative AI, and agentic applications across Amazon Finance. You will help modernize our architecture using technologies such as Zero ETL, AWS DataZone, end-to-end lineage, real-time observability, and automated data quality frameworks to create trusted datasets optimized for AI consumption.
The ideal candidate is passionate about designing next-generation distributed data systems on AWS and believes in democratizing access to high-quality data to accelerate innovation. You will work on building scalable, secure, and AI-compatible data platforms that enable self-service analytics, semantic data discovery, and intelligent financial operations. We are looking for candidates with strong expertise in AWS technologies such as S3, EMR, Redshift, Glue, and Lake Formation, or deep experience in traditional BI and Data Warehousing systems, combined with a strong interest in AI-driven analytics, data mining, and pattern discovery from large-scale datasets. Experience designing and managing data products, metadata-driven architectures, and data contracts will be highly valued.
The ideal candidate should possess:
- Strong expertise in core data engineering fundamentals including ETL/ELT, distributed processing, data modeling, orchestration, and reporting systems
- Experience building scalable and reliable data pipelines handling massive datasets with high availability and performance requirements
- Good understanding of dimensional modeling, data governance, lineage, observability, and data quality frameworks
- Familiarity with AI/ML data requirements including feature-ready datasets, vectorizable data structures, metadata management, and semantic discoverability
- Ability to think in terms of reusable data products instead of siloed pipelines
- Excellent problem-solving abilities, ownership mindset, and a passion for simplifying complex data ecosystems
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with experience partnering across engineering, finance, product, and senior leadership teams
Join our exceptional team where you'll solve complex data challenges while working alongside industry-leading engineers building Amazon’s AI-First finance data ecosystem. You will have the opportunity to influence the future of enterprise-scale data products, contribute to Native-AI platform modernization, and build systems that power intelligent automation for one of the world’s largest FinOps organizations.
