Software Development Engineer, Open Data Analytics Engines - Spark Engine Performance
Amazon.com
The analytics team is looking for an experienced engineer to join the core engines team.
Athena and EMR are services that our customer 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. This is a “must-win” strategic area in a growing and very technical space.
We are looking for a hands-on engineer to help us improve the engine further. We are looking to make deeper changes all around the query engine codebase. As an Engineer on the engines team, you will help with design and implementation of key features and performance optimizations for query engines.

Key job responsibilities
* Hands-on development for core components of the query engine
* Design and develop solutions and algorithms to improve the performance of Spark
* Design and develop improvements to the AWS Runtime for Spark’s integration with other AWS services
* Manage complex deliverables project and research projects with deadlines
* Ensure data consistency and durability with breakthrough performance and scalability.
* Interact and partner with the open source community
About the team
The team is composed of engineers that are either passionate about the engine internal space or have several years of experience (including PhD). Our managers are also extremely technical, having worked many years as developers. We manage our backlog with a research approach, where ideas are prototyped, validated with real data and then implemented. We all have families and see our work as a marathon, not a sprint, so we make sure we balance our work to avoid overpromising deliverables.
