Early-career Data Engineer at Amazon in Toronto designing and maintaining data pipelines, automated ETL, and SQL/NoSQL data warehouses that power analytics across the business. Day to day involves building pipelines, tuning queries, and owning metrics/dashboards with analysts and data scientists.
Amazon is looking for early-career talent to join its engineering teams in Toronto, Ontario for a full-time Data Engineer role starting in November or December 2026. If you're finishing or have recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field and want to build systems that operate at global scale, this is the kind of opportunity where your work genuinely reaches millions of people.
At Amazon, data engineers work on the backbone of decision-making across the business — designing data pipelines, maintaining data warehouses, and building the analytical infrastructure that engineers, analysts, and data scientists rely on every day. It's hands-on work from day one, with real ownership and real impact.
In this position, you'll be responsible for designing and maintaining distributed data collection systems, building automated ETL processes, and owning the ongoing metrics and dashboards that drive key business decisions across teams. You'll work with both SQL and NoSQL database systems, tune queries for performance, and architect solutions for future data storage and reporting needs.
Collaboration is central to the role. You'll work alongside Business Analysts, Data Scientists, and other internal partners to identify opportunities and solve problems — and you'll be expected to troubleshoot, research root causes, and resolve data issues thoroughly when they arise.
The starting salary for this Data Engineer position in Toronto is $97,100 CAD annually. Amazon also provides basic life and AD&D insurance, paid time off, and additional resources aimed at improving health and well-being.
