Job Description

Amazon's Personalization (P13N) organization is responsible for the core components that drive the Amazon website and customer experience. Serving millions of customer page views and orders per day, P13N builds for scale. As an organization within P13N, the Data Services (PDS) group is no exception. We collect petabytes of data from thousands of data sources inside and outside Amazon including the Amazon catalog system, inventory system, customer order system, page views on the website and Alexa systems. We also support Amazon subsidiaries such as IMDB and Audible. We provide interfaces for our internal customers to access and query the data hundreds of thousands of times per day, using Amazon Web Service's (AWS) Redshift, Hive, Spark and Oracle. We build scalable solutions that grow with the Amazon business.

PDS is growing, and the data processing landscape is shifting. Our data is consumed by thousands of teams across Amazon including Research Scientists, Machine Learning Specialists, Business Analysts and Data Engineers. PDS team is building an enterprise-wide Behavioral Data Store leveraging AWS technologies. We enable teams at Amazon to produce analytical data in any form of storage (S3, DynamoDB, Aurora, etc.) and process that data using any type of compute environment such as EMR/Spark, Redshift, Athena, and others via a common bus. We are developing innovative products including the next-generation of data catalog, data discovery engine, data transformation platform, and more with state-of-the-art user experience. We're looking for top engineers to build them from the ground up.

This is a hands-on position where you will do everything from designing and building extremely scalable components and cutting-edge features to formulating strategy and direction for Big Data at Amazon. You will also mentor junior engineers and work with the most sophisticated customers in the business to help them get the best results. You need to not only be a top software developer with excellent programming skills, an understanding of big data and parallelization, and a stellar record of delivery, but also excel at leadership and customer obsession and have a real passion for massive-scale computing.

Your responsibilities will include:

* Keeping your finger on the pulse of the constantly evolving and growing Big Data field
* Translation of complex functional and technical requirements into detailed architecture and design
* Delivering systems and features with top-notch quality, on time
* Stay current on technical knowledge to keep pace with rapidly changing technology, and work with the team in bringing new technologies on board

Come help us build for the future of Big Data!
