Job Description

DESCRIPTION

Come and join RDS on Outposts team that is building hybrid service to offer AWS-managed relational databases on AWS Outposts on premises. Our vision here is to offer capabilities of our battle-tested RDS service to any on-premises facility and build innovative capabilities that bridge the gap between on-premises facility and AWS cloud to provide a truly hybrid experience. We are the first service to foray in this domain and setting a path for other AWS services to follow.

You will be responsible for rethinking the assumptions behind how traditional databases services were built and thinking how to build database services that operate seamlessly in customer's on-premises network and in the cloud. This is an area that requires solving the hardest engineering challenges in distributed systems and networking at massive scale. As a tier zero AWS service our solutions have to be super solid, scalable, efficient, and extremely fault tolerant. You will own the design, development, testing and deployment of these services. You will work in a fast-paced environment and do everything from determining priorities and designing features, to re-architecture as necessary, to automated testing, to mentoring others. The best candidates show true end-to-end ownership.

This position within Databases team presents a unique and rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor within a fast growing business and help shape the technology, product, and the business.
