Sr. Business Intelligence Engineer, Accounting

The Accounting BI team supports the global Accounting organization with process automation, automated reporting, and AI-driven solutions that improve how accountants process, analyze, and consume accurate and timely financial data. We partner closely with accountants, financial analysts, Data Engineering, and Fintech engineering teams across the many businesses Amazon operates in.

As a Sr. BIE, you will tackle the most complex, ambiguous projects across our Accounting BI organization and own the general applications and frameworks supporting global Accounting teams and BI"s across our organization. You will lead a specific Accounting workstream and guide Accountants on technical solutions and direction, and partner with junior BI team members guiding their technical development. You will set technical direction for how AI and spec-driven development are applied to accounting automation at scale, while mentoring engineers and upholding high engineering standards through design and code reviews.
