DESCRIPTION

Join the AWS Open Data Analytics Fundamentals team and make a difference in the world with Big Data and Analytics!

The Open Data Analytics (ODA) Fundamentals team plays a pivotal role in shaping the strategic direction and executing Amazon’s Big-Data frameworks product release process. We are responsible for integrating and packaging the latest features from the Open Data Analytics organization and delivering robust, thoroughly tested analytics products to our customers. We work on the release process of industry-leading products, including Amazon EMR, Athena, and Glue.

Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) is the industry-leading cloud big data platform for petabyte-scale data processing, interactive analytics, and machine learning using open-source frameworks such as Apache Spark, Apache Hive, Trino, and HBase. Amazon Athena is a serverless query service that simplifies analyzing data directly in Amazon S3 using standard SQL.

As an engineer on the ODA Fundamentals team, you will enhance the ODA products release processes’ efficiency, security, stability, and coverage. Your expertise will be critical in independently delivering complex projects to streamline the release, vending, and packaging process. You will guide and orchestrate the entire lifecycle of releases, from creation to deployment, either by utilizing existing internal tools or by innovating and creating new ones.

Your role will require resolving project ambiguities, pinpointing core requirements, and devising effective strategies to meet project objectives. You’ll also be responsible for maintaining the release process’s security and fostering a culture of security awareness within the team. This position requires exceptional communication skills and the ability to influence and negotiate at all levels within the ODA organization.

Embracing Amazon’s principle of Customer Obsession, you will proactively address customer issues with our analytics products. Your responsibilities will include reproducing and diagnosing customer issues and leading the team in developing long-term solutions. Furthermore, you will contribute to the strategic direction of the Fundamentals team and collaborate with other teams to ensure the team’s work aligns with broader organizational goals.

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
