Data Engineer II, AR Data Egineering, FinAuto at Amazon scores 69 out of 100 on AI centrality, which makes it AI Level 3 of 4 (Works on AI) on this board. The level measures how much of the work is AI, not seniority.
AI in this role
This is a unique opportunity to help shape a our data foundation — building highly discoverable, governed, and reusable data products that power analytics, machine learning, generative AI, and agentic applications across Amazon Finance. Your work will directly feed into Graphite's ability to orchestrate AI-driven data access — ensuring datasets are semantically rich, well-governed, and optimized for both human analysts and AI agents. You will modernize our architecture using technologies such as Zero ETL, AWS DataZone, end-to-end lineage, real-time observability, and automated data quality frameworks.
The ideal candidate is passionate about building next-generation distributed data systems on AWS and believes in democratizing access to high-quality data — whether consumed through dashboards, APIs, or AI-native interfaces. You will work on scalable, secure, and AI-compatible data platforms that enable self-service analytics, semantic data discovery, and intelligent financial operations.
Key job responsibilities
1. Build and maintain scalable, reliable data pipelines and datasets on AWS (S3, EMR, Redshift, Glue) to support Finance analytics, reporting, and AI-powered financial automation
2. Develop and enhance AI-ready data products, ensuring high quality, usability, clear data definitions, and semantic richness to support consumption by both human analysts and Graphite-powered AI agents
3. Implement robust ETL/ELT workflows and contribute to modern patterns such as Zero ETL, data mesh, and standardized ingestion frameworks that reduce data movement and accelerate time-to-insight
4. Ensure end-to-end data quality, observability, and governance through validation, monitoring, lineage, and metadata management (e.g., AWS DataZone), building trust in datasets across the organization
5. Collaborate with cross-functional teams (analytics, finance, data science, ML engineering) to translate business needs into scalable, well-modeled data solutions
6. Drive Operational Excellence through Full CD Pipeline adoption and AI-first approaches — including proactive anomaly detection, automated root cause analysis, and self-healing workflows — to shift from reactive operations to predictive, autonomous data platform reliability
About the team
The AR Data Engineering (ARDE) team builds the data foundation that powers every Accounts Receivable decision at Amazon — trusted, near real-time, and self-serve. We develop entity-centric data products spanning collections, cash management, customer contacts, and billing, enabling FinOps leaders, automation platforms, and analytics partners to discover, access, and act on AR data independently. We are evolving from a proven Data Mesh serving thousands of users into a cognitive data layer — powered by Graphite — that compounds institutional knowledge, accelerates decision velocity, and drives operational autonomy across Amazon Finance.

Skills and AI tools this role asks for
Questions you could be asked
- How do you decide when an AI agent can act on its own versus asking for approval first?
- Describe a typical day in a role like this one: which parts run through AI directly?
- If you removed AI from this role, what would be left, and how do you decide what still needs a human?
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: AI Agents. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them — a tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Show where AI is part of your daily process, not a one-off project — this role expects it to be a running habit.
