AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we're looking for talented people who want to help.

You'll join a diverse team of software, data, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

We are calling on data engineers who want to make sustainability a core feature of AWS services. The Science, Services, Infrastructure, and Innovation (S2I2) Engineering team builds measurement, intelligence, and decision-support systems that embed sustainability into how AWS designs, procures, and operates its infrastructure. We own the data products that power sustainability decisions across AWS — from life-cycle assessments and material flow analysis to carbon allocation models and service-level sustainability profiles.

In 2019, Amazon co-founded The Climate Pledge and made a commitment to achieve net-zero carbon by 2040 — 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement. We invited others to join us and there are now more than 300 businesses and organizations across 51 industries and 29 countries that have signed the Pledge, which means we are collectively coming at the climate crisis from nearly every sector and nearly every angle.

As part of our efforts to decarbonize our business, Amazon became the world's largest corporate purchaser of renewable energy in 2020 and achieved its goal of matching 100% of operations with renewable energy in 2024 — seven years ahead of the original 2030 target. Our focus now extends beyond renewable energy to carbon-free energy sources, embodied carbon reduction, circular economy, and water stewardship across our entire infrastructure.

Come join the team that is building the data infrastructure and intelligent systems that enable AWS to measure, reduce, and ultimately eliminate its environmental footprint — across carbon, materials, and water — while helping AWS customers meet their own sustainability commitments.

Key job responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain large-scale data pipelines and models that power sustainability measurement across AWS — including life-cycle assessments, material flow analysis, carbon allocation, and service-level sustainability profiles
• Partner with research scientists and applied scientists to productionize sustainability models (LCA, MFA, Scope 3) into reliable, automated, production-grade systems
• Build and maintain data products for the AWS Supplier database, enabling sustainability-informed procurement and supply chain decisions
• Build the data infrastructure for Service Sustainability Profiles (SSP) — a system that measures and attributes environmental impact at the service level, enabling AWS service teams to understand and reduce their footprint, and AWS customers to take ownership of their environmental impact through granular, accurate carbon data
• Own data quality, lineage, and trust — ensuring every output meets the rigor required for third-party assurance and customer-facing reporting
• Contribute to the Sustainability Data Platform (SDP), building shared data infrastructure that scales across Circular Economy, Scope 3, and Net Zero workstreams
• Support the evolution toward decision intelligence — building self-service data products that reduce the time from sustainability question to grounded answer

A day in the life

As a Data Engineer on the S2I2 Engineering team, you'll build the data products that turn sustainability science into actionable intelligence for AWS. On any given day, you might be:

• Working with research scientists and applied scientists to take a life-cycle assessment or material flow analysis model from prototype to production-grade pipeline
• Designing data models that track carbon emissions, material flows, or supplier sustainability attributes across AWS's global infrastructure
• Building pipelines that feed Service Sustainability Profiles — enabling AWS service teams to see their environmental footprint and customers to report on theirs
• Extending the AWS Supplier database to support sustainability-informed procurement decisions
• Debugging data quality issues where precision matters — because your outputs inform real infrastructure investments and go through third-party assurance
• Collaborating with the Scope 3 assurance team to ensure data lineage and methodology are audit-ready
• Prototyping self-service tooling that lets internal stakeholders answer sustainability questions without filing a ticket

Your internal stakeholders include sustainability scientists (who define the models you productionize), program managers (who use your data products to drive abatement programs), and AWS service and infrastructure teams (hardware engineering, procurement, operations) who consume sustainability intelligence to inform design and purchasing decisions. You'll work across multiple workstreams — Circular Economy, Scope 3, Net Zero, AWS Supplier, and Service Sustainability Profiles — so breadth and context-switching are part of the job.
