About The Position

Amazon OpenSearch Service is a fully managed service that makes it easy to
deploy, operate, and scale OpenSearch clusters for log analytics, full-text
search, application monitoring, and more. As part of AWS, we serve hundreds of
thousands of customers who rely on OpenSearch to power mission-critical search
and observability workloads at scale.

As a Software Development Engineer on the OpenSearch team, you will help solve a
variety of technical challenges in distributed systems, data ingestion, and
search infrastructure. You will play an active role in translating business and
functional requirements into concrete deliverables and build quick prototypes or
proofs of concept in partnership with other technology leaders within the team.
You will help invent new
features, design, develop, and deploy reliable distributed services that operate
at massive scale across all AWS regions.

You will work with a variety of core languages and technologies including Java,
Python, and AWS-native services. You will tackle challenging problems in areas
such as cluster management, data pipeline
orchestration, query optimization, and multi-tenant infrastructure — all while
ensuring high availability and security for our customers.

You should be comfortable with a degree of ambiguity that's higher than most
projects and relish the idea of solving problems that span the full stack — from
control plane APIs to data plane performance. Along
the way, we guarantee that you'll learn a ton, have fun, and make a positive
impact on many customers.
