Amazon’s mission is to be earth’s most customer-centric company and our team is the guardian of our customer’s privacy. The Amazon InfoSec Privacy team is looking for builders that want to create unique data privacy solutions that help us retain our customer’s trust. Our team partners across Amazon’s Consumer and Digital business units to build, monitor, and protect a secure environment for the Amazon business. As a data engineer on our team, you are considered a technical leader. Your work focuses on ambiguous problem areas in both existing and new data initiatives. You take a long term view of the team’s data solutions and how they fit into the team’s architecture. You anticipate data access patterns and remove bottlenecks from their systems. You ensure your team’s data is auditable, available, and accessible. You proactively fix data architecture deficiencies and/or propose larger projects, which may require the work of other teams. You split that work into parallel tasks that can be performed by you and others and then reassembled successfully.
