Enjoy a competitive salary and benefits in a creative and agile work environment.

Requirements

  • 1+ years of contributing to new and current systems architecture and design
  • Knowledge of Big Data applications such as Spark and Presto

Responsibilities

  • Design and build the next-generation technologies for EMR.
  • Work on complex problems in distributed systems and query engines.
  • Translate complex functional and technical requirements into detailed architecture and design.
  • Deliver systems and features with top-notch quality and on time.
  • Own the software development process end-to-end, including working with engineers and product managers to develop requirements.

Benefits

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs.
