At Amazon, we are committed to being the most customer-centric company on earth. The MENA Supply Chain organization is comprised of high-powered, dynamic teams shaping network execution through the development and application of innovative supply chain design and management concepts. Our goal is to improve and enhance the Amazon fulfillment network to drive the best customer experience in a reliable and cost-efficient manner.
Within MENA, Amazon’s Business Intelligence Engineering team is looking for a creative, organized, experienced, and highly curious individual with strong technical skills and analytical knowledge to join our inbound supply chain team as a business intelligence engineer. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated experience leveraging advanced analytics to extract meaning and insights from large volumes of data. These insights will serve as critical inputs to strategic business decisions and programs.

The position provides opportunities to influence one of the most visible and high impact areas in MENA.
Responsibilities include:
- Will provide new and innovative solutions for complex problems, sometimes imagine and invent before stakeholders ask, sometimes using cutting-edge approaches.
- Retrieve and synthesize data from multiple sources, and present critical insights in a format that is immediately useful to answering specific questions or improving performance.
- Translate functional requirements into robust, efficient, supportable solutions that work well within the overall system architecture.
- Work with AWS technologies such as S3, DynamoDB, Lambda, SQS, Redshift, EMR and more.
- Evaluate and make decisions around the use of new or existing software products.
- Conduct written and verbal presentation to share insights and recommendations to audiences of varying levels of technical sophistication.
