Want to shape the future of a NoSQL database service that supports mission-critical workloads operating at more than 20 million requests per second? Let's take its speed and efficiency to the next level!Amazon 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 workloads. On the DynamoDB team, you will see the impact your work has on the world.As a senior software development engineer on the DynamoDB Storage team, you will be responsible for the architecture that provides the foundation for the entire service. The code you write will securely, durably, and efficiently store petabytes of customer data while allowing customers to consistently access it in milliseconds or less. You will help evolve the existing architecture into a next-generation, high-performance system that customers will use to access data even faster and operate at scale more efficiently.DynamoDB engineers say DynamoDB is a technically challenging space that requires unique and innovative solutions. As a member of this team, you will solve the hardest challenges in distributed systems. You will sit at the unique crossroads where low-level storage systems and high-scale distributed systems intersect. The problems you face will engage you and stretch your intellectual curiosity as you track emerging industry trends in storage hardware and software systems. You will help lead an amazing team of intelligent individuals to deliver results that make our customers' experience even better. You will interact with other senior SDEs and principal engineers daily, and they will help you take your design and architectural skills to the next level.Our systems must remain highly available, scalable, and efficient. We can't get away with two out of three. As a senior software development engineer, you will design systems that adhere to these tenets and mentor junior engineers to do the same. You will be a thoughtful steward of existing systems, appropriately challenging assumptions and rearchitecting systems when necessary to allow us to scale for growth.If you want to test your limits and tackle technical challenges you won't find anywhere else, join our team!Key job responsibilities- Identifying technical requirements based on business goals and product direction, and translating those requirements into detailed architecture and design.- Executing multi-engineer, cross-team projects, and mentoring others on project management and prioritization.- Delivering quality projects and features on time and on budget.- Leading design reviews for the engineering team. Setting and driving technical best practices for the team.- Participating in the full lifecycle of day-to-day development activities, including prioritization, task breakdowns, writing design documents, design and code reviews, implementation, deployment, and operations.- Performing data analysis to identify opportunities to optimize our services.- Maintaining current technical knowledge to support rapidly changing technology, and working with management and the development team to bring in new technologies when appropriate.About the teamInclusive Team Culture- Here at AWS, we embrace our differences.
