Data Engineer II , UTR PLanning Tech

Overview

UTR Planning Tech builds the data infrastructure that powers labor planning across 12 Amazon last-mile and sort‑center business lines. Our pipelines feed the planning systems that determine how Amazon staffs its delivery network, serving hundreds of sites and processing millions of data points daily. We are shifting from hand‑coded, custom pipelines to an AI‑native approach, building reusable frameworks where engineers and business users define needs through configurations and natural language instead of writing custom code for every use case.

AI agents handle orchestration, validation, and deployment. You will help define how we build, what patterns we standardize, and how AI fits into data engineering workflows, shaping the way the team works and delivering data solutions that directly impact planning accuracy across Amazon’s delivery network.

• Design and own logical and physical data models for major datasets in the team’s architecture. Create coherent models that drive physical design and serve multiple downstream consumers.
• Build and optimize ETL pipelines for complex datasets using AWS services (Redshift, S3, EMR, Glue, Lambda, Athena) and Python‑based orchestration (Airflow/MWAA). Your solutions will be testable, maintainable, and efficient.
• Design and build configuration‑driven data frameworks that replace repetitive custom code with reusable, declarative patterns for ingestion, transformation, and metric curation. Own the design of these frameworks, not just the implementation.
• Build AI agent tooling and MCP‑based interfaces that allow conversational agents to generate SQL, validate configurations, manage data quality rules, and execute pipeline operations through natural language.
• Own ongoing data quality for datasets you build. Implement standardized data contracts, define SLAs, establish data certification processes, and automate manual quality processes.
• Work with planning scientists, software engineers, BI engineers, and product managers to balance customer requirements with technical requirements. Help shape what we build, not just how.
• Improve self‑service access to data. Build analytical data models and tooling that reduce dependency on the DE team for common data access patterns.
• Improve engineering processes: automate manual operations, establish monitoring and alerting standards, and drive code quality and dependency management practices.
• Mentor engineers and interns. Train new team members on how team data solutions are constructed, how they operate, and how they fit into the broader architecture.
• Participate in the interview process and help recruit for the team.

• 3 years of data engineering experience.
• 1 year of developing and operating large‑scale data structures for business intelligence analytics using ETL/ELT processes.
• 1 year of experience with OLAP technologies.
• 1 year of data modeling experience.
• 1 year of SQL experience.
• 1 year of Oracle experience.
• Experience with data modeling, warehousing and building ETL pipelines.

• Experience with AWS technologies like Redshift, S3, AWS Glue, EMR, Kinesis, Firehose, Lambda, and IAM roles and permissions.
• Experience with non‑relational databases or data stores (object storage, document or key‑value stores, graph databases, column‑family databases).
