Software Development Engineer II, Amazon DocumentDB

Job Summary

Our team develops Amazon Document DB (with MongoDB compatibility), a fully-managed cloud database that enables customers to persist and retrieve JSON documents. We are developing new query capabilities, pushing the bounds of performance, driving distributed systems innovation in scalability and high availability, and investing in user experience.

As an engineer on the team, you will collaborate with colleagues on research, prototyping, software design, and implementation. Your work will span all aspects of database systems—including multiversion concurrency control (MVCC), transactions, query optimization, data storage, indexing, and parallel computation—as well as distributed systems, telemetry, build and deployment technology, and API and UI design. You may focus on a specific area, work across domains, or rotate over time.

You will have opportunities to interact with customers and product managers to define product improvements, solve hard problems, grow your skills, and mentor others.

If you are excited by the prospect of making it easier for customers to store, query, and analyze data at scale, and you are interested in databases, operating systems, distributed systems, or developer tools, we would love to hear from you.
