Amazon Web Services (AWS) · New York, NY · 1 wk ago
ConsultingFull-time

About the role

Every day, customers run millions of queries on Amazon Athena, from ad-hoc exploration to mission-critical pipelines. Athena is building its next-generation engine across multiple engines (e.g., Spark, DuckDB). The Engine Front End team is responsible for query lifecycle management and routing queries to the right engine with the optimal configuration.

Amazon Athena is an interactive query service that simplifies data analysis in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. Athena is serverless, so there is no infrastructure to set up or manage. Customers use Athena to process logs, perform data analytics, and run interactive queries through a simple, easy-to-use API in front of a complex, distributed system.

Responsibilities

  • Own features and services end-to-end: shape designs with input from senior engineers and your manager, build, test, ship through release pipelines, and operate what you ship in production.
  • Route millions of queries a day across engine generations without customers noticing.
  • Prove a new engine build is safe before it takes production traffic.
  • Keep the submission path fast and reliable while the engine underneath it changes.
  • Learn the system deeply, raise problems not yet spotted, and grow toward driving designs independently.

  • 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded, or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services using C#, C++, Java, or Perl.
  • 1+ years of Object-Oriented Design experience.
  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field.
  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent.
