Job description

Data Engineer II, AWS Sustainability Technology

In 2019, Amazon co-founded The Climate Pledge and made a commitment to achieve net-zero carbon by 2040—10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement. We invited others to join us and there are now more than 300 businesses and organizations across 51 industries and 29 countries that have signed the Pledge, which means we are collectively coming at the climate crisis from nearly every sector and nearly every angle.

As part of our efforts to decarbonize our business, we became the world’s largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy in 2020. We are on a path to power our operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025.

We recently announced that AWS will be water positive by 2030, returning more water to communities than it uses in its direct operations. The company also announced its 2021 global water use efficiency (WUE) metric of 0.25 liters of water per kilowatt-hour, demonstrating AWS’s leadership in water efficiency among cloud providers.

Come join the team that is building the tools and innovative technology to track and share sustainability metrics for our customers.

As a Data Engineering Leader with Amazon, you will mentor and lead engineers. You will guide your team towards the best data development practices. You will serve as a leader in the team to define the priorities and vision of the group. You will collaborate with users around the globe.
