Amazon Software Development Engineer Open Data Analytics - Engines 

United States, California, East Palo Alto 

650747527

Athena and EMR are services that our customer use to run large scale analytics, leveraging open source engines like Apache Spark and Trino, with datalake open table formats like Apache Iceberg, Hudi and Delta. The analytics engines 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 with these engines and table formats. Additionally, we strive to regularly contribute features, bug fixes and optimizations back to open-source, as well be current with the latest open-source versions of these frameworks. This is a “must-win” strategic area in a growing and very technical space.Key job responsibilities
• Develop and optimize core components of query engines and open table formats (Iceberg, Hudi, Delta) to enhance performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Design and implement innovative solutions and algorithms to improve feature capabilities, stability, and security in table format integrations with query engines.
• Collaborate with the open-source community, contributing to discussions, driving improvements, and integrating upstream changes.
• Ensure data consistency and durability while achieving breakthrough performance and scalability for large-scale data lake workloads.
• Improve the organizations automation and testing capabilities.
• Manage complex deliverables project and research projects with deadlines.
• Mentor and train other team members on design techniques and coding best practices.
• Be a point of contact for challenging customer issues related to data lake workloads and query engine.About the team
