About
Want to change the world with Big Data and Analytics? Come join us on the Amazon Analytics team in Amazon Web Services! Amazon Athena is an analytics service that makes it easy to get insights from Amazon S3 based data lakes using open standards like SQL, Parquet, Apache Iceberg and others. Athena is serverless, so there is no infrastructure to set up or manage as the service scales automatically based on data volume and query complexity. Creating a simple, rich and performant experience for customers requires solving challenging engineering problems.
We are working on our own scaling infrastructure (virtualization, tenant isolation, forecasting, scheduling, containers, admission control, infrastructure deployment) and making significant performance and reliability improvements to our open source based engine (memory management, micro‑optimizations, CBO, vectorization, etc.). We’re looking for top engineers to design and build features that bridge the gap between OSS query engines and hyper‑scaler performance.
Key Job Responsibilities
Designing and building the next‑generation technologies that will make Athena SQL the best environment to run analytic SQL at any scale
Working on complex problems in distributed systems and query engines
Translation of complex functional and technical requirements into detailed architecture and design
Deliver systems and features with top‑notch quality, on time
Own the software development process end‑to‑end, including working with engineers and product managers, design, architecture, planning, implementation, testing, new systems and features, deploying, and operating the production Athena systems
Basic Qualifications
Experience programming with at least one software programming language
1+ years of contributing to new and current systems architecture and design (architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling)
2+ years of non‑internship professional software development experience

3+ years of experience with a Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent OR 5+ years experience with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or equivalent, in software development, including design, implementation, debugging, and support
Very strong computer science fundamentals in algorithm design, data structures, problem solving, and complexity analysis
Strong proficiency in developing object‑oriented software, with deep experience in one or more relevant languages (Java, C, C++, C#)
Preferred Qualifications
3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
Experience in query processing, query engines, and/or query optimization
Thorough understanding of parallel algorithms, concurrency, and asynchronous architectures
Proficiency in high‑performance, multi‑threaded programming
