Senior Data Engineer, Infrastructure Reliability

Help build the data foundation that keeps Amazons fulfillment network running 24/7. Infrastructure Reliability is building an AI-powered platform that detects diagnoses and resolves incidents across thousands of sites globally and none of it works without clean reliable well-modeled data.

You will own and evolve production data pipelines that power real-time incident detection and correlation build the data lake and unified data models that unblock ML and autonomous resolution initiatives and rescue historical telemetry data before it expires and becomes permanently unrecoverable. This is a high-ownership role with direct visible impact on Amazons global fulfillment operations working closely with applied scientists who train models on the data you build.


Key job responsibilities
You will design build and operate ETL pipelines that ingest transform and correlate incident and telemetry data from sources including DynamoDB OpenSearch CloudWatch and internal incident management systems publishing curated datasets to our data lake and Andes for consumption by dashboards applications and ML models. You will take ownership of production pipelines including scheduled batch processing jobs and Glue-based ETL workflows ensuring reliability monitoring and timely resolution of pipeline issues.

You will build data retention and ingestion pipelines to preserve time-bound telemetry signals before source-system expiration windows and you will design standardized ingestion frameworks that normalize data from many disparate sources into a common science-consumable format. You will contribute to the design of a unified data lake architecture including schema design partitioning strategy and access patterns replacing fragmented duplicated pipelines with a single source of truth.

You will partner closely with applied scientists and engineers to grasp data requirements for ML model training and feature engineering and you will mentor other engineers on data engineering best practices code quality and pipeline design.

A day in the life
You might start your day investigating a pipeline failure alert tracing it back through Glue job logs to a schema change upstream. Later youre in a design discussion with an applied scientist about what shape of data would best enable a new model translating that into a concrete the afternoon youre heads-down building a new ingestion adapter or reviewing a teammates pull request. Your work directly determines what data is available and reliable for the platforms detection and reasoning capabilities.
