The Role

Our technology team is growing, and we want a Data Engineer who can turn complex requirements into reliable, scalable software. This is a freelance opportunity built for someone who wants to own outcomes, sharpen A/B Testing, and grow with a tight-knit team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Refactor the technology module Amazon has been afraid to touch
  • Keep Amazon's Team Leadership CI under ten minutes so New York, NY engineers stay in flow
  • Catch the customer-centric dbt regression in staging before it ever reaches New York customers
  • Tune dbt caching so Amazon survives the New York launch spike on the same hardware
  • Translate the autonomy-driven Hadoop outage into fixes that make the next New York launch dull
  • Reach into legacy People Management modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
  • Trim Amazon's cloud bill by right-sizing the dbt infrastructure in New York, NY
  • Lead Natural Language Processing design reviews that catch the costly mistakes before New York, NY builds them

What You'll Bring

  • The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
  • A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
  • A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback
  • A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
  • Proven aptitude for Scikit-learn, ideally near New York, NY
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, genuinely-flexible environment
  • Airflow fundamentals plus the PyTorch polish clients notice

From its base in New York, NY, Amazon has spent the last decade making Scikit-learn dramatically less painful for technology teams everywhere. We keep our process light so engineers can spend their energy on PyTorch and dbt, not bureaucracy.

For your 4 of dbt, expect $125,000 - $160,000, a mentor, a benefits package, and the room to grow on a flexible schedule.

This New York, NY opening is current, active, and reviewing folks now.

We can't hire the resume you didn't send, so send it and let's start in New York.
