Description
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
As a Data Engineer you will enable data-driven decision making within the Amazon Web Services Data Center Infrastructure Operations organization. The Infrastructure Operations Team is responsible for planning, implementing, monitoring and continuously improving the global Amazon Data Center infrastructure. The team supports all aspects of the Data Center based organizations, including but not limited to : Safety, Security, maintenance, daily operations, logistics, engineering and equipment management.
You will be developing, implementing and maintaining the information data lake and utilizing insight platforms to enable decision support systems for the overall organization. You should have excellent business and communication skills, and be able to work with business owners to understand their data and reporting requirements.
Above all, you should be passionate about working with huge data sets and be someone who is able to bring data sets together to answer business questions and drive growth. You will build ETLs to ingest the data into the data warehouse and data lake, as well as end-user facing reporting applications. You will primarily support teams within the Infrastructure environment, but will also have opportunities to support teams in the overall Amazon Web Services community.
You will work with business customers and development teams to define analytics requirements and then deliver flexible, scalable, end-to-end solutions.
You will have an opportunity to work with big data and emerging technologies while driving business intelligence solutions end-to-end: business requirements, data modeling, ETL, metadata, reporting, and dashboarding. You should have expertise in the design, creation, management, and business use of large datasets.

We provide unified data sources and business intelligence solutions to the Infrastructure Operations (InfraOps) global teams.

CIAT are responsible for the sourcing, centralizing, preparing and vending both raw data and processed data/reports, to our customers across all aspects of AWS and Data Center Operations.

We continually expand our data sources to maintain alignment with the changing business systems and requirements of our customers. We actively engage with our partner teams to grow our business knowledge so that our developed solutions reflect the collective knowledge gained through our partnerships.
We are responsible for the data quality and security, ensuring that the vended data subscribes to Amazons least privilege and business need-to-know ethos. We support direct access to >4400 data tables across >360 schemas, developed and manage >390 reports within >75 dashboards, and provide direct report and data access to >5000 unique users across AWS. Through the development and transition to LakeSQL, CIAT have enabled the user-manager access to >300 additional datalakes, via OMNI, removing CIAT data transfer pipelines as a user data access constraint.
