Role OverviewAs a Software Engineer on our team, you will design, develop, and maintain software by collaborating with the open source community and internal AWS stakeholders on Apache Lucene and OpenSearch. You will have support from AWS in contributing to Apache Lucene as well as OpenSearch. If you are already a Lucene committer, we will continue to support your work there; if you are not, we will give you room to become one.
