Data Engineer II, Fire TV

Fire TV, Advertising and Appstore is reshaping the way millions of people discover, engage with, and enjoy entertainment every day. The FAA Decision Science organization is looking for a Data Engineer to help build scalable, reliable, and compliant data systems that support millions of customers worldwide.

This role contributes to the foundational data infrastructure used by Data Science, Business Intelligence, Product, Finance, Advertising, Engineering, and leadership teams to make high-quality business decisions. You will design, build, and operate data pipelines, data models, data quality mechanisms, and cloud-based infrastructure supporting Fire TV engagement, lifecycle analytics, Ads monetization, Appstore performance, executive reporting, forecasting, experimentation, and AI-enabled analytics.

This role is appropriate for an engineer who can independently own defined data systems or workstreams while partnering with senior engineers and cross-functional stakeholders on broader technical direction. You will be expected to work through moderate ambiguity, clarify requirements, make sound implementation trade-offs, improve operational reliability, and deliver scalable solutions that reduce manual effort over time. Successful engineers in this role improve reliability, automate recurring work, simplify data systems, document operational processes, and build trusted data products that help the business move faster.
