Want to help define the future of serverless compute and make it effortless for customers to run petabyte-scale analytics workloads without managing infrastructure? Come join the Serverless Analytics Compute team in Amazon Athena!

We are building the compute orchestration platform that powers Amazon Athena today - and will power other analytics services tomorrow. Our platform abstracts away the complexity of provisioning, scaling, and managing distributed compute workers so customers get instant, elastic capacity without ever thinking about servers, clusters, or fleet management. We are building to manage millions of compute workers across multiple capacity providers, delivering instant compute for analytics workloads at massive scale.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with senior and principal engineers who are domain experts at AWS. You"ll develop deep expertise in areas like distributed systems, serverless compute orchestration, sub-second worker startup, multi-tenant resource isolation, and operational excellence at scale. You"ll contribute to platform services that underpin some of AWS"s highest-scale analytics offerings. You will enjoy competitive compensation and your contributions in this role will impact customers and businesses around the world.

Key job responsibilities

You'll be responsible for designing, developing, testing and deploying some of our most strategic technical projects. You'll deliver large-scale, high-performance production systems, design new software systems of distributed technology, and have a significant bottom-line impact on our business results. You will draw from your deep and broad technical expertise to mentor engineers, complete hands-on technical work and provide leadership on complex technical issues.

AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn't followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don't let it stop you from applying.

Why AWS? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating - that's why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

Inclusive Team Culture Here at AWS, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
