DESCRIPTION

Who we are
The EC2 Customer Success Engineering Team (CSET) protects and improves the customer experience with Compute Services, keeping our customers happy and on our services. We act as the nexus of EC2 service teams. We identify and common customer pain points across services and tackle them. We raise the bar on internal practices and alleviate operational bottlenecks that hinder forward movement on making proactive improvements for customers.

“Nothing is beyond our reach”

We operate by the slogan that “nothing is beyond our reach”. We think big. We sometimes find ourselves asking “how in the world is there no tool or solution for this?”, or “how have we managed to operate like this for so long?”. Our response in these moments, is “well, let’s fix it”. If the idea of pioneering solutions to unsolved problems from the ground up in uncharted territory sounds exciting to you, come join us!

EC2 produces an outrageous amount of data, and our org is seeking a data engineer to usher in a new generation of data management where data can be a first class citizen in our operations. You will be the source of truth for data management best practices. We, as developers, TAMs, and scientists, need your unique expertise on all things from how to efficiently design schemas to how to optimally utilize AWS services to architect production data lakes, databases, and compute engines.

Here are some qualities that will make you successful in this role:

You have good instincts. You have good judgement on when to utilize/build upon existing solutions, starting from scratch only when appropriate. You always seek to disprove your assumptions, yet have backbone and would be comfortable giving disruptive feedback to a room of principal engineers.

You have a ‘can do’ attitude and a helpful spirit. Encountering bad practices and constraints doesn’t irritate you, but rather excites you. You enjoy getting occasionally interrupted by people dropping by your desk seeking your unique expertise.

You can be a generalist and are comfortable navigating in unfamiliar domains, but you have a deep expertise in the data domain. You are a veteran working with AWS tooling. You have learned from experience works and doesn't work at scale. You understand tradeoffs and limitations between tools. You are curious and always looking for and exploring new tooling.

Roles and responsibilities:
Within CSET you will:
· Work with systems engineers and data scientists to design and build a analytics platform and data lake to support compute heavy data science, dashboarding, and web-facing production tooling. (You get to tell us what this should look like!)
· Write ETL to consolidate and relate petabytes of data owned by disparate teams
· Implement best practice data quality assurance mechanisms
Within the Compute Services organization you will:
· Participate in design reviews for new tooling and services
· Capture and share best practices with service teams
· Teach service team engineers how to test for data quality issues

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
