We are seeking a Data Engineer to join our newly formed centralized analytics team as one of the first Data Engineers on the team. This is a greenfield opportunity to build a data platform from the ground up-making foundational architectural decisions and directly influencing how an entire organization measures success and makes investment decisions. You will design, build, and operate scalable data pipelines that connect product telemetry, usage metrics, and business outcomes into a coherent, unified data ecosystem. Your focus will be squarely on engineering-building robust, scalable infrastructure and data models-while dedicated Business Intelligence Engineers on the team own the reporting, dashboarding, and stakeholder-facing analytics. This is not traditional reporting-you will be building the data backbone that powers intelligent, agent-driven analytics experiences (MCP tools, agentic retrieval systems) enabling stakeholders to intuitively access and consume data within their day-to-day workflows. The data you engineer will inform executive reviews, drive product strategy, and power the next generation of self-service analytics tools used by thousands of AWS field team members. Key job responsibilities - Design, build, and operate scalable ETL/ELT pipelines that ingest product telemetry, usage events, and business outcome data from multiple heterogeneous sources across the STT product portfolio - Architect and implement a centralized data platform using AWS-native technologies (Redshift, S3, Glue, Lake Formation, Lambda, Athena) that serves as the single source of truth for organizational analytics - Build and maintain data models that connect product usage signals to business outcomes (e.g., content effectiveness 1 field engagement 1 pipeline progression 1 revenue impact) - Develop data infrastructure supporting AI/ML pipelines and agentic systems, including MCP tools and natural-language data access layers - Implement data quality frameworks with automated monitoring, alerting, and validation to ensure accuracy and reliability as the platform scales - Build self-service data products with clear SLAs, documentation, and governance that reduce ad-hoc request burden and empower stakeholders to answer their own questions - Partner with Applied Scientists and SDE teams to provide clean, well-modeled data for agent evaluation frameworks, retrieval quality measurement, and content effectiveness scoring - Establish data contracts, lineage tracking, and catalog metadata to support discoverability and trust across the organization - Operate with a high bar for operational excellence-owning on-call, monitoring pipeline health, and proactively resolving data freshness or quality issues before they impact consumers - Contribute to the evolution from static dashboards toward agentic data systems by building the foundational data layers that AI agents query and reason over About the team You will be joining a high-growth engineering organization at the forefront of applying generative AI and agentic technologies to transform how AWS field teams operate. The centralized analytics team is being built from the ground up-you will be one of the first two Data Engineers on the team, working alongside Business Intelligence Engineers, a Senior BD, an Applied Scientist, and a TPM. You will make foundational architectural decisions that define how the platform will be built, scaled, and operate for years to come. The pace of innovation is high, the problems are ambiguous, and the impact is measured across thousands of field team members and the customers they serve. This role offers the opportunity to shape foundational architecture decisions and influence how an entire organization consumes and acts on data.
