Want to change the world with Big Data and Analytics? Come join us on the Amazon EMR team in Amazon Web Services!

Amazon EMR is a web service which enables customers to run massive clusters with open-source data processing frameworks like Apache Hadoop, Flink, Spark, Trino, Hive, HBase and more, with the ability to effortlessly scale up and down as needed. We run large number of customer clusters, enabling a variety of customer use cases including analytics and web-scale machine learning.

We are doing innovative work on the open source data processing frameworks with the goal of making the EMR the best place to run big data workloads. We’re looking for top engineers to design and build features and accelerate the performance.

You will work backwards from the customer needs and you will get to do everything from designing and building large scale systems and cutting-edge features for the savviest customers in the business.

You will have a chance to work with the open source community and contribute significant portions of software to open source projects like Hadoop, Flink and Spark etc. You need to be a top software developer with excellent programming skills, an understanding of distributed systems and parallel data processing, and a stellar record of delivery but also excel at leadership and customer obsession and have a real passion for massive-scale computing. If you want to truly test your mettle against the hardest challenges in distributed systems to build solutions for large scale problems in a wide variety of domains, come join our group.

Key job responsibilities
Your responsibilities will include:

– Designing and building the next-generation technologies that will make EMR the best environment to run large-scale data processing workloads.
– Translation of complex functional and technical requirements into detailed architecture and design.
– Work on internals of large-scale, highly parallel and fault-tolerant data processing engines like Hadoop, YARN and Flink.
– Solve challenging problems in query optimization, vectorized execution engine, resource management, transactions, security, governance, data access control, indexes, encoding, etc.
– Contribute back to the community by open sourcing some of the developed features.
– Work with customers to understand their needs and incorporate them as features into our product.
– Own the software development process end-to-end, i.e working with engineers and product managers to develop requirements; designing, architecting, planning, implementing, and testing new systems and features; deploying, and operating the production EMR systems.
