Job Description
DESCRIPTION
Want to help shape the future of one of the largest NoSQL database services on the planet?
Amazon DynamoDB is one of the largest distributed database systems in the market, and we continue to believe it is Day 1 for the DynamoDB business. We are looking for deeply technical, team-first-mentality individuals who are willing to commit themselves to our goal to grow the business by 10 times over the next 2 years.
DynamoDB is a key-value and document database that delivers single-digit-millisecond performance at any scale. 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 gives engineers a unique opportunity to work on some of the toughest computer science problems at scale. Replicating tables across continents, securely encrypting petabytes of data, and enabling customers to back up terabytes of tables in a high-performance manner will require you to exercise your intellect. You will do all this while maintaining and improving the fast, single-digit-millisecond read and write times of DynamoDB.
This is a hands-on position in which you will do everything from designing and implementing rock-solid components to launching a new service iteratively, maintaining and operating systems at scale, and evangelizing the work done by your team.
Engineers say DynamoDB is a technically challenging space that requires unique and innovative solutions. As a developer on the DynamoDB team, you will work with an amazing team of sharp individuals who will help you hone your coding, design, and architectural skills. You will work with senior engineers daily, which is a fantastic opportunity to learn from the best and grow your career.
