Do you want to affect not only internal users but Retail customers worldwide? In Retail Systems, you will pave the future of Amazon Retail, enhancing how we do business and our effectiveness as a player in the global e-commerce. Amazon has risen to the top of online retail, but there is still a lot of work to be done to remain competitive and find new opportunities.

As a member of Amazon's Vendor Self Service team, you will be a key player in driving Amazon's Retail business; the bread and butter of Amazon. The Vendor Self Service team is streamlining many of the business processes that run Amazon Retail. We've built a large-scale vendor management solution, and we're looking for a data scientist who will help leverage our data through analytics and machine learning to provide key insights and enable new business opportunities. You will drive future solutions that will impact how we run the Retail business worldwide and interface with many teams, both technical and non-technical, across the company. And most importantly, the Retail Systems team is composed of some awesome people, and you'll have a lot of fun!

As a data engineer, you should be skilled in the architecture of enterprise data warehouse solutions using multiple platforms. You should have extensive experience in the design, creation, management and business use of extremely large datasets. You will be building new data engineering solutions that leverage the AWS cloud architecture and will extend or migrate our existing data pipelines to this architecture as needed. You will also be leveraging our Big Data platform to create the curated data model for the teams to leverage. You should have excellent business and communication skills to be able to work with business owners to develop and define key business questions, and to build data sets that answer those questions. Above all you should be passionate about working with huge data sets and someone who loves to bring datasets together to answer business questions and drive change.
