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 a Sr Engineer on the engines team, you will help with direction, design and implementation of key areas and mentor the next set of engineers.
Key job responsibilities
• Hand-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 partners in the open source community
• Ensure data consistency and durability with breakthrough performance and scalability.
• 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 engine good practices
• Be a point of contact for challenging customer issues around query engine problems
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 spring, so we make sure we balance our work to avoid overpromising deliverables.
We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations:
East Palo Alto, CA, USA
- 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
- 5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
