Data Engineer, Amazon Ads

• Land the data - integrate telemetry from across Amazon's data ecosystem (Andes subscriptions, EDX, S3, internal services) into a clean, query-ready layer
• Move fast - deliver on OP1/OP2 cycles, MBR/QBR rhythms, and ad-hoc executive asks with bias for action
• Simplify complexity - turn messy, multi-source data into well-documented dimensional models that scale with the org
