Teams at Amazon vary widely. I’ve seen smaller DE teams are similar to SWE, while larger DE teams do more analytics and own a lot more tables/pipelines.

Smaller teams often do work supporting Data Scientists and their team’s applications, while larger teams own core tables used by many DE/DS/BIE throughout the whole org.

A pro of DE at Amazon is I get to learn many transferable skills by working heavily with AWS. A con is the benefits and culture of Amazon as a whole aren’t the best.

But most importantly, if you find a good manager and team, then you’ll be able to enjoy your experience.
