Big Data Engineer Job in Amazon

DESCRIPTION

Amazon Music is awash in data! To help make sense of it all, the Music Data Experience team enables repeatable, easy, in depth analysis of music customer behaviors. We reduce the cost in time and effort of analysis, data set building, model building, and user segmentation. Our goal is to empower all teams at Amazon Music to make data driven decisions and effectively measure their results by providing high quality, high availability data, and democratized data access through self-service tools.

If you love the challenges that come with big data then this role is for you. We collect billions of events a day, manage petabyte scale data on Redshift and S3, and develop data pipelines using Spark/Scala EMR, SQL based ETL, Airflow and Java services.

You are a talented, enthusiastic, and detail-oriented Data Engineer, Data Science, Business Intelligence, or Software Development who knows how to take on big data challenges in an agile way. Duties include big data design and analysis, data modeling, and development, deployment, and operations of big data pipelines. You will also help hire, mentor, and develop peers in the the Music Data Experience team including Data Scientists, Data Engineers, and Software Engineers. You'll help build Amazon Music's most important data pipelines and data sets, and expand self-service data knowledge and capabilities through an Amazon Music data university.

This role requires you to live at the cross section of data and engineering. You have a deep understanding of data, analytical techniques, and how to connect insights to the business, and you have practical experience in insisting on highest standards on operations in ETL and big data pipelines. With our Amazon Music Unlimited and Prime Music services, and our top music provider spot on the Alexa platform, providing high quality, high availability data to our internal customers is critical to our customer experiences.


Music Data Experience team develops data specifically for a set of key business domains like personalization and marketing and provides and protects a robust self-service core data experience for all internal customers. We deal in AWS technologies like Redshift, S3, EMR, EC2, DynamoDB, Kinesis Firehose, and Lambda. In 2020 your team will migrate Amazon Music's information model and data pipelines to a data exchange store (Data Lake) and EMR/Spark processing layer using Airflow as orchestrator. You'll build our data university and partner with Product, Marketing, BI, and ML teams to build new behavioral events, pipelines, datasets, models, and reporting to support their initiatives. You'll also continue to develop big data pipelines.
