Software Development Manager, Aurora PostgreSQL

Job  | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.

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?

Aurora is an exciting area of innovation for AWS, and the Postgres-compatible edition of Amazon Aurora is built on one of the most active code bases in the open source community. The Postgres-compatible version of Amazon Aurora is a relational database that offers enterprise-class performance, availability and durability to our customers, along with the management benefits of RDS. We are one of the fastest growing businesses within Amazon Web Services, with teams currently in Seattle, Toronto, Dublin and India.

If you’re a software engineering leader who is looking to lead a team changing the rules for relational databases, come on board. We have one of the most senior teams in AWS — senior engineers who are eager to brainstorm, mentor, and build software together. We have challenging problems to solve in distributed systems, concurrency, database internals, caching, query optimization, languages, and performance engineering.

We are looking for experienced, passionate and curious engineering leaders to innovate with us on behalf of our customers. To be successful in this role, you should possess solid analytical, design and problem-diagnosis skills. Expertise with query processing and optimization and high-performance systems is a plus. You will lead multiple teams in designing, implementing, and owning high- and low-level system components to make Aurora Database highly available, scalable, reliable and fast.

You should be comfortable hiring and building your team, mentoring junior engineers, and harmonizing operational responsibilities with innovation. The ability to translate high-level technical requirements into executable project plans is essential.

If this sounds like you, join us to help AWS continue to lead the cloud computing revolution.
