Software Development Engineer II, DynamoDB Fleet Services

Description

Do you want to work on new scaling challenges for one of the largest databases on earth? Do you enjoy simplifying complex problems and working on distributed systems? Do you want to work on a product that can access petabytes of data in 9 milliseconds or less, back up hundreds of terabytes of data in seconds, even across continents? Dynamo

DB is a key-value and document database that delivers single-digit-millisecond performance at any scale. As one of the largest distributed database systems in the world, we continue to believe it is Day 1 for the Dynamo

DB business. We are looking for a deeply technical, team-first software development engineer to push this product even further. As our database continues to grow, we need to scale the product even further. We are rearchitecting Dynamo

DB's global footprint to make it even more scalable.

Dynamo

DB engineers are constantly challenged to think of unique and innovative solutions. The quality bar is high. As an engineer here, you will work on building services that operate at a massive scale and are responsible for routing large amount of data. Our code is responsible for routing customer requests in the most efficient way across thousands of machines, while providing high throughput and low-latency experience.

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.
