Who you are

  • Do you enjoy solving complex problems and troubleshooting products? Are you passionate about developing test strategies, finding, and tracking bugs to resolution, and innovating on behalf of customers?
  • Do you want to be a part of a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and contribute to one of the most visited sites on the Internet?
  • There is a certain kind of person who takes on this role at Amazon – someone who is excited by the idea of creating new products, features, and services from scratch while managing ambiguity and the pace of a company whose ship cycles are measured in weeks, not years
  • If you’re insatiably curious and always want to learn more, then you’ve come to the right place
  • Work 40 hours/week minimum and commit to 6 to 12 month internship maximum

  • The Amazon University Talent Acquisition Team are looking for ambitious students to join us as interns at the heart of our core consumer business! Internships are flexible in length to fit in with your university’s placement scheme

  • Design pragmatic analyses and automated metrics that add value to your business area
  • Understand data resources and how, when, and what to use (and what not to use)

  • Seek to understand the business objectives relevant to your area, and align your work to those objectives and seek to deliver business value
  • Proactively and continually, improve your level of knowledge about Amazon’s business and relevant data resources
  • Our Business Intelligence Engineer builds data pipelines, reports, dashboards, and analyses to deliver metrics and insights to the business

Salary benchmarks

Our take

Amazon is the world's largest online retailer, and is well-known for its disruption of well-established industries. The company is present in numerous verticals, including cloud computing with Amazon Web Services, AI with its range of Alexa devices and a global marketplace more commonly referred to as 'the everything store'. Acquisitions include Ring, Twitch, Whole Foods Market, and IMDb.

More recently, Amazon has been focused on leading the "third wave in digital advertising". Many businesses are now shifting ad dollars to retailers, which before would have been spent with online media platforms. Amazon's seen great success in the space, with its revenue from advertising now higher than its Amazon Prime membership scheme, audiobooks and digital music combined. This growth is particularly impressive considering its digital ad rivals (like Snap, Alphabet, and Meta) have suffered declines due to wider macroeconomic factors and Apple's iOS privacy changes.

Despite its dominant market position, Amazon will continue to be challenged over the next decade, including sustaining AWS's cloud dominance in the face of Google and Microsoft. On top of this, the company's e-commerce division is facing profitability problems despite its 2023 post-IPO debt funding of 8 billion. It will need to find new ways to stay above their competitors.
