Amazon Data Engineer jobs
The most open data engineering reqs on this list — 65 — plus a 2027 internship, with every seat five days in office.
The Data Engineer II role
Amazon data engineers build and run ETL pipelines, warehouses and data lakes — largely Redshift, EMR, S3, Glue and Kinesis on AWS — that feed finance, operations, advertising and AWS business analytics. Most reqs are embedded in a line of business such as WW Ops Finance, AWS Marketplace or Ring, so the day-to-day varies by team. With 65 open reqs it has the most data engineering openings on this list, a clearly leveled DE ladder, and a dedicated DE internship.
A dedicated Data Engineering job family and ladder (DE I, II, III, Senior, Principal and managers), separate from SDE and from the Business Intelligence Engineer ladder, spread across AWS Analytics Engineering, Finance, Devices and Ring, Ads, Studios and Leo.
