As a BIE embedded in the business team you will also have the opportunity to participate and shape program development as well as leverage your technical skills. This position provides opportunities to influence high visibility/high impact areas in the organization.
This position (Sr. Business Intelligence Engineer) is a leader on the team and others look to them for advice on analytical and business issues they are facing.

They have a global view of the analytical and/or science solutions that they build and consistently think in terms of automating, expanding, and scaling the results broadly. This position also requires you to work across a variety of teams, including transportation, operations, finance, delivery experience, people experience and platform (software) teams. Successful candidates must thrive in fast-paced environments which encourage collaborative and creative problem solving, be able to measure and estimate risks, constructively critique peer research, extract and manipulate data across various data marts, and align research focuses on Amazon’s strategic needs.
We are looking for people with a flair for recognizing trends and patterns while correlating it to the business problem at hand.
