BIE II, Tax

Amazon is a fast-paced, dynamic, high-tech company based in Seattle. Global Tax Data (GTD) organization provides data management services and supports program and product initiatives that improve tax data integrity across Amazon's global indirect tax compliance operations. GTD ensures timely, accurate data is available for tax compliance reporting and audit readiness, and our teams manage the tax data infrastructure, pipelines, reconciliation tools, and operational reporting that compliance teams rely on worldwide.

As a Business Intelligence Engineer (BIE) II in GTD, you'll build gold-standard analytics datasets and data mart/warehouses while driving the data analysis, reconciliation operations, root-cause investigations, and process improvements that directly support Amazon's monthly tax compliance cycles. You'll partner cross-functionally with your customers in tax compliance and accounting, and with stakeholders across finance technology, to make sure the data behind every filing is complete, accurate, and delivered on time. You'll also work closely with Data Engineering, Software Engineering, and Solutions Architects.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys digging into large datasets — spotting patterns, explaining the story behind the variances, and driving issues to resolution independently.

You'll thrive here if you bring strong analytical skills, the ability (or a genuine eagerness to build it) to work with large-scale data, and the business judgment to translate tax and accounting context into the right system configurations.
