Sr. Software Development Engineer
DESCRIPTION
Who we are:
Amazon EMR is a service which enables customers to run massive clusters with distributed big data frameworks, with the ability to effortlessly scale up and down as needed. We run a huge number of customer clusters, enabling processing on vast datasets.
EMR customers want EMR to provide the best security features of any managed Big Data offering. In order to achieve that vision, the EMR Control Plane team in New York đź—˝ are developing features to support migrations of long-running multi-tenant clusters to AWS, harden our default configuration, and remediate any security risks.
Who you are:
You're a very experienced developer with a track record of delivering impactful projects, mentoring junior developers, and improving the processes of the teams you work with. You're got a particular interest in building secure and reliable systems, designing software so that people can't do what they're not supposed to do, and making things that scale. You like getting into the nitty gritty technical details, digging down through all the levels of a stack.
Examples of projects we've done:
* https://aws.amazon.com/lake-formation/ (integrating Lake Formation access controls and authentication with EMR clusters)
