OverviewSoftware Development Engineer - Apache Flink Engineer, Amazon Managed Service for Apache FlinkJob ID: 3083492 | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.Come change the way world processes streaming data. The Amazon Managed Service for Apache Flink (MSF) team is looking for a Software Development Engineer to work on the Apache Flink framework. We’re looking for engineers who can learn and build distributed stream processing engines. If you are a builder who is enthusiastic about data streaming and excited about contributing to open source, this may be the role for you.Real-time data processing from a stream requires substantial investments from customers in writing the application and maintaining the necessary infrastructure. MSF provides a fully managed stream processing platform leveraging the Apache Flink framework, where customers can develop their applications using SQL or Java. With the service, customers only need to provide the application code containing the business logic to process the stream; the service provides building blocks and abstractions such as processing windows, execution semantics, checkpoints, and infrastructure capabilities (elasticity, failover, etc.), eliminating the complexity of stream processing.As a member of the MSF team you will be:

working on making improvements to the stream processing engine (Apache Flink) to make the MSF service the de facto choice for running stream processing applications
ensuring upstream compatibility as a core tenet of MSF service; your changes to improve the engine will be contributed back to open source
improving efficiency and availability of the engine, adding ease-of-use features, and pushing the envelope of stream processing
writing quality, reusable code for highly scalable and reliable cloud-based services
working closely with product and development management to architect the service
being a champion for operational excellence by insisting on the highest standards
writing code that continuously improves service reliability and availability

To be successful in this role, you should have experience working on large-scale systems, enjoy solving complex software problems, and possess analytical, design, and problem-solving skills. While not necessary, experience with data processing technologies such as Apache Flink, Apache Spark, Apache Storm, or Hadoop frameworks is a plus.
Come join us to make stream processing mainstream for our customers.
