You will design and own production-grade data pipelines that ingest billions of events from diverse source systems and transform raw signals into ML-ready feature groups that Science and ML Platform teams depend on for training, evaluation, and inference.\nThis is a hands-on engineering role at the center of a fast-moving ML organization. Our Science teams build increasingly sophisticated models, each requiring different data formats, latencies, and serving patterns. You will build the pipelines and feature infrastructure that make this possible: ingesting from Trails and Non-Trails sources, transforming disparate datasets into versioned feature groups, and operating the Feature Store that serves features consistently across all model types. You will partner directly with Applied Scientists to translate model data requirements into reliable pipelines, and work across data engineering, software engineering, and science teams to deliver data that is accurate, timely, and well-governed.\nKey job responsibilities\nData Pipelines & Ingestion - Build and own batch and near real-time pipelines spanning Trails (raw and aggregated) and Non-Trails sources (Clickstream, Customer Segmentations, OPS). Evolve pipelines from Cradle/POC to production-grade using AWS Glue. Implement data quality checks, drift detection, and governance frameworks.\nFeature Engineering & Serving - Build versioned feature groups across multiple storage backends (S3 for tabular data, OpenSearch for embeddings). Develop production pipelines that transform raw signals into ML-ready features, and help operate the Feature Store that serves them consistently to Science teams.\nStreaming & Real-Time Systems - Develop and operate Apache Flink applications and stream processing for near real-time feature computation. Build event-driven data flows leveraging Kinesis and Kafka to support low-latency bot detection signals.\nScience Partnership - Partner with Applied Scientists and ML Platform engineers to define data contracts and SLAs, understand model data requirements, and ensure feature pipelines integrate cleanly with training and inference systems.\nOperational Excellence - Own the reliability, monitoring, and cost efficiency of the pipelines you build. Participate in on-call, root-cause data issues, and drive improvements that reduce operational load.\nAbout the team\nTraffic Engineering's Bot Management organization protects Amazon's ecosystem by detecting and mitigating automated threats at scale. Our Core ML Data Infrastructure team is responsible for building and operating the foundational data infrastructure that powers bot detection, AI agent identification, and content exfiltration defense. We are building a unified, model-agnostic, production-grade ML platform that brings together training, evaluation, and inference pipelines into a cohesive system serving multiple model types across the organization.\nBasic qualifications\n- 3+ years of data engineering experience\n- Experience with data modeling, warehousing and building ETL pipelines\n- Experience building large-scale, high-throughput, 24x7 data systems\n- Experience in at least one modern scripting or programming language, such as Python, Java, Scala, or NodeJS\n- Knowledge of batch and streaming data architectures like Kafka, Kinesis, Flink, Storm, Beam\n- Knowledge of professional software engineering & best practices for full software development life cycle, including coding standards, software architectures, code reviews, source control management, continuous deployments, testing, and operational excellence\nPreferred qualifications\n- Experience with AWS technologies like Redshift, S3, AWS Glue, EMR, Kinesis, FireHose, Lambda, and IAM roles and permissions\n- Experience with non-relational databases / data stores (object storage, document or key-value stores, graph databases, column-family databases)\nAmazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status.\nOur inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers. If you have a disability and need a workplace accommodation or adjustment during the application and hiring process, including support for the interview or onboarding process, please visit https://amazon.jobs/content/en/how-we-hire/accommodations for more information. If the country/region you’re applying in isn’t listed, please contact your Recruiting Partner.\nThe base salary range for this position is listed below. As a total compensation company, Amazon's package may include other elements such as sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location. Amazon offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, basic life & AD&D insurance), Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (DPSP), paid time off, and other resources to improve health and well-being.
