Do you want to work on new scaling challenges for one of the largest databases on earth? 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? DynamoDB 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 DynamoDB 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. 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. 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.

We design, build and maintain systems that provide discovery and management of DynaoDB's service endpoints across all supported network fabrics.

-In a day, you may study service dashboards deep diving anomalies, provide feedback as a Subject Matter Expert on code submitted by peers, pitch an idea to solve a difficult problem in the hallway to Principle and Senior Engineers, propose a design that turns stakeholder's requirements into component level deliverables which guides your team to deliver successfully. It isn't about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it's about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment.
