The analytics team is looking for an experienced engineer to join the core engines team.

Athena and EMR are services that our customers use to run large-scale analytics, leveraging open-source engines like Trino and Spark.

We are looking for a hands-on engineer to help us improve the engine further. As an Engineer on the engines team, you will help with the design and implementation of key features and performance optimizations for query engines.
