Job description

Description: The Inventory Health team is looking for a Data Engineer. The team manages the inventory health for Amazon's emerging marketplaces - India, Brazil, Japan, MENA, and Mexico. The data engineer shall help us in building data pipelines, launching features for emerging retail stores, and create analytics infrastructure that feed supply chain systems. The work directly influences in-stock rates, excess inventory, and delivery speed for million of items. The role sits at the intersection of software engineers and applied scientists, and defines how supply chain signals are captured, transformed, and served across countries with very different fulfillment structures. Key job responsibilities 1. Build, own and manage large-scale data pipelines that ingest, transform, and serve supply chain signals for inventory optimization 2. Build features and data applications for experimentation, ML model training, and production systems across multiple marketplaces. 3. Work with SDEs & Science teams to define data contracts, validate feature quality, and iterate on data representations that feed downstream models. 4. Build monitoring, alerting, and self-healing mechanisms for pipelines. Broken data means wrong inventory decisions at scale. 5. Be Curious to understand end to end systems beyond typical data engineering boundaries. A day in the life No two days look the same. Some days you are debugging a broken pipeline because an upstream team changed a schema without notice. Other days you are designing a new feature table for an upcoming ML model. While, also explaining to non-technical audience on what your data says. The work swings between deliberate building and reactive fixing of broken pipelines - you need to be comfortable with both. Beyond the work itself, we value work-life balance. The team is approachable, supportive, and nobody expects you to figure things out alone.
