Sr Business Intelligence Engineer, Amazon Global Data Center Ops Central Insight and Analytics Team

About the role
We are looking for a Senior Business Intelligence Engineer to build the diagnostic analytics layer for Amazon's global data center operations. You will move our analytics capability beyond reporting *what* happened to explaining *why* — identifying which factors drive metric deviation, decomposing performance into attributable components, and building the analytical frameworks that enable operational leaders to take the right action.
Responsibilities
- Build analytical frameworks to explain root causes of performance gaps and recommend corrective actions
- Work with rich operational data at scale: millions of repair tickets, rack lifecycle events, parts inventory flows, workforce scheduling data, and hardware validation results
- Translate "this metric moved" into "here's why, here's who owns each piece, here's the impact"
- Partner with operational leaders to validate findings and deliver insights that influence resource allocation, process design, and investment decisions at the VP level
Requirements
- 10+ years of performing statistical analysis experience
- Expert SQL skills — complex analytical queries across large-scale datasets (multi-system joins, window functions, statistical aggregations across petabyte-scale data)
- Strong statistical foundation — regression analysis, statistical process control, hypothesis testing, and metric decomposition applied to real business problems
- Experience building automated, reproducible analytical pipelines — scheduled systems that serve ongoing business processes at production quality
- Proficiency in Python or R for data manipulation, statistical analysis, and visualization
- Demonstrated ability to decompose complex business metrics into attributable components
- Strong written and verbal communication — ability to write diagnostic narratives and present complex analysis clearly to VP-level audiences
Qualifications
- Basic Qualifications
- Experience working directly with business stakeholders to translate between data and business needs
- Experience in operational analytics — manufacturing, logistics, field operations, supply chain, or physical infrastructure domains where you've analyzed process efficiency, failure modes, or workforce productivity
- Experience with workforce analytics — productivity measurement, skill-gap analysis, labor planning, or efficiency modeling that accounts for varying task complexity and work mix
- Experience building composite metrics or indices that combine multiple dimensions into weighted scores (similar to OEE, NPS, or operational health indices)
- Experience with multivariate analysis — identifying which factors among many are most strongly associated with performance outcomes
- Experience building decision-support tools, recommendation frameworks, or analytical playbooks — structured systems where analysis directly translates to operational action
- Familiarity with forecasting methods (time-series decomposition, trend analysis, seasonality modeling) for operational planning
- Experience building analytical frameworks adopted across multiple teams — reusable tools and methods that scale beyond individual analyses
- Experience with Amazon internal data tools (Redshift, Athena, QuickSight) is a plus for internal candidates
- Experience with data center, cloud infrastructure, or hardware operations is valuable but not required — domain knowledge can be learned; analytical rigor cannot
