Sr Software Development Engineer, AWS Open Data Analytics Engines

The analytics team is looking for an experienced engineer to join the core engines team. Athena and EMR are services that our customers use to run large scale analytics, leveraging open source engines like Trino and Spark. The analytic engine organization makes significant modifications to these engines to run in serverless environments and with superior performance and scalability than what is available in Open Source. In the last 3 years, we have improved our engines by a factor of 5x by making changes to the optimizer, query runtime and storage connectors. We have also made significant changes to the compiler to enable enterprise features like fine grain access control.

As a Sr Engineer on the engines team, you will:

• Help with direction, design, and implementation of key areas
• Mentor the next set of engineers
• Perform hands-on development for core components of the query engine
• Design and develop solutions and algorithms to improve performance of Spark and/or Trino
• Interact and partner with the open source community
• Ensure data consistency and durability with breakthrough performance and scalability
• Improve the organization's automation and testing capabilities
• Manage complex deliverables, projects, and research projects with deadlines
• Be a point of contact for challenging customer issues around query engine problems
