EMR, Glue ETL and Athena are services that our customer use to run large scale analytics, leveraging open source engines like Spark. The analytic engine organization makes significant modifications to these engines to run in EKS, EC2, 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. We have built integration frameworks and AI based automations to improve our efficiency in delivery value to our customer faster. 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 Spark engine further. As an Engineer on the Spark engines team, you will help with design and implementation of key features Spark engine, release automation, tooling and Telemetry areas. Key job responsibilities * Hands-on development using AI * Design and develop solutions to improve Spark engine delivery * 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 ## Related Videos - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [Alibaba Big Data and Machine Learning Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/37-alibaba-big-data-and-machine-learning-technology) - [Empowering Democratic Processes: Building a Hybrid Voting Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1163-empowering-democratic-processes-building-a-hybrid-voting-platform) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
