DESCRIPTION
Do you want to work on a product that can do the following?
1. Access petabytes of data in single-digit milliseconds
2. Replicate tables across continents
3. Stream terabytes of data updates per hour continuously
4. Back up hundreds of terabytes of data in seconds
5. Encrypt petabytes of data with no performance degradation
Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database service that does all this and more. DynamoDB is a key-value and document database that delivers single-digit-millisecond performance at any scale. DynamoDB can store petabytes of customer data and handle peaks of more than 20 million requests per second.
As a fast growing service at the core of the AWS Cloud, our business and engineering decisions have widespread impact across AWS, Amazon, and beyond. Many of the world's fastest growing businesses, such as Lyft, Airbnb, and Redfin, as well as enterprises, such as Samsung, Toyota, and Capital One, depend on the scale and performance of DynamoDB to support their mission-critical workloads.
DynamoDB is one of the largest distributed database systems in the world, and we continue to believe it is Day 1 for the DynamoDB business. We are constantly improving and adding new capabilities to DynamoDB, and we are looking for a deeply technical, team-first software development engineer to push DynamoDB even further.
DynamoDB engineers are constantly challenged to think of unique and innovative solutions. The quality bar is high. As an engineer here, you will work on the hardest engineering problems in distributed systems at a massive scale and on multiple dimensions. You will exercise your intellectual curiosity, work with motivated teams of sharp individuals, and get insightful guidance from senior and principal engineers.
This is a hands-on position in which you will own everything from end to end: requirements gathering, designs, design reviews, implementations, code reviews, incremental feature launches, operations, mentoring, and the driving of continuous improvement.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
1. Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
2. Experience leading the architecture and design (architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and current systems
3. Experience in professional, non-internship software development
4. Experience programming with at least one modern language such as Java, C++, or C# including object-oriented design
5. Experience in development in the last 3 years
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
1. Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
2. Experience with full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations
