Are you interested in building hyper-scale database services in the cloud? Do you want to revolutionize the way databases are built for the cloud? Do you want to have direct and immediate impact on hundreds of thousands of users who use AWS database services? Amazon Aurora MySQL offers MySQL compatible relational database engine that combines the speed and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. It provides up to five times better performance than MySQL, all at a price point one tenth that of a commercial database while delivering similar performance and availability.


We are looking for software developers who are passionate about databases and large-scale storage technologies, and excited about building database systems that run across thousands of servers across multiple data-centers worldwide. This is a core system development position where you will grow to own the design and development of significant system software components critical to our industry leading database services architected for the cloud. You will be part of the team that architects, designs, and implements highly scalable distributed database systems with availability, reliability and performance guarantees.


This is a hands-on position where you will get an opportunity to get involved at every level of the software development cycle, from designing and building rock-solid components to deploying and monitoring them in production, as well as mentoring other engineers. We are looking for a top software developer with a good track record of delivering, as well as strong communication, leadership and customer-focus skills. This is a unique and rare opportunity to become a part of a fast-growing business and help shape its technology and features.


Key job responsibilities

Our engineers collaborate across diverse teams, projects, and environments to have a firsthand impact on our global customer base. You’ll bring a passion for innovation, data, search, analytics, and distributed systems. You’ll also:

  1. Solve challenging technical problems, often ones not solved before, at every layer of the stack.
  2. Design, implement, test, deploy and maintain innovative software solutions to transform service performance, durability, cost, and security.
  3. Build high-quality, highly available, always-on products.
  4. Research implementations that deliver the best possible experiences for customers.

A day in the life

As you design and code solutions to help our team drive efficiencies in software architecture, you’ll create metrics, implement automation and other improvements, and resolve the root cause of software defects. You’ll also:

  1. Build high-impact solutions to deliver to our large customer base.
  2. Participate in design discussions, code review, and communicate with internal and external stakeholders.
  3. Work cross-functionally to help drive business decisions with your technical input.
  4. Work in a startup-like development environment, where you’re always working on the most important stuff.

Minimum Requirements
  • 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
  • 5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
