Join us for the opportunity to influence how Amazon Music engages fans, artists, and creators on a global scale.

If you love the challenges that come with big data then this role is for you. We collect billions of events a day, manage petabyte scale data on Redshift and S3, and develop data pipelines using Spark/Scala EMR, SQL based ETL, and Java services.

You are a talented, enthusiastic, and detail-oriented Data Engineer, Data Science, Business Intelligence, or Software Development who knows how to take on big data challenges in an agile way.
