We are seeking an experienced and motivated Business Intelligence Engineer (BIE) to build analytics and reporting capabilities that power capacity management decisions across Amazon's outbound fulfillment network. In this role, you will be responsible for designing and developing scalable data solutions that surface capacity utilization trends, identify risk patterns, and generate actionable insights to help optimize how Amazon leverages its fulfillment resources.
The ideal candidate is a highly analytical, critical thinker with advanced problem-solving, data mining, and software development skills. You will work closely with software engineers, applied scientists, product managers, and operations stakeholders to translate complex capacity data into business intelligence that informs planning and real-time decision systems.

8. Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to define metrics, establish baselines, and measure system performance
A day in the life
1. Collaborate with the Engineering and Science teams to define new capacity tracking features, construct data pipelines for capacity ingestion and consumption, and validate new system functionalities
2. Conduct deep dives into capacity anomalies - such as unexpected capacity breaches, misaligned resource configurations, or consumption spikes - and generate insights for leadership and product management
3. Build and maintain dashboards that visualize the end-to-end lifecycle of resource capacity: from initial configuration by resource owners, through real-time consumption tracking, to exhaustion and risk notification
4. Analyze differences or discrepancies between expected and actual capacity utilization across outbound resources (sort centers, delivery stations, fulfillment centers)
5. Use inputs from capacity resource owners and FO decision system teams to define new data requirements and measurement frameworks
6. Support peak event readiness (Prime Day, holiday season) by ensuring capacity data systems are performant, accurate, and providing timely risk signals
About the team
The PACMAN (Persistence And Capacity Management) team serves as the centralized authority for capacity availability across all of Amazon's physical outbound resources.
