Senior Software Development Engineer, Aurora Control PlaneJob ID: 2624748 | Amazon Development Centre Ireland Limited
Looking to be part of a team building hyper-scale database services in the cloud? Do you want to revolutionize the way people manage vast volumes of data in the cloud where you have direct and immediate impact on hundreds of thousands of users who use AWS database services?
Aurora is a distributed, fault-tolerant database service, leveraging a self-healing storage system which performs up to five times faster than standard MySQL databases and three times faster than standard PostgreSQL databases.
Aurora is one of the fastest-growing AWS services, with business and engineering decisions having a widespread impact across many of the world's fastest growing businesses! Our customers depend on the performance of our services to scale and support their mission-critical workloads.
Operating much like a start-up, we have a very flat organizational structure and a casual office vibe, but leverage all the resources and stability of being the largest cloud provider.
The AWS Aurora Metadata and Management engineering team focuses on building scalable services and tools to support the rapid growth of Aurora. As an Engineer on the team you will design and implement services and intelligent operational tooling to allow Amazon Aurora to scale faster, with emphasis on reliability, deployment velocity and operational effectiveness.
We are looking for Software Development Engineers who have built a lot of software – shipped products and created platforms, tools, Ops Console and modules. You should be passionate about optimizing the software development experience at a very large scale, using your strong technical skills and motivation to achieve results. You are naturally enthusiastic about learning new technologies and industry trends and are excited by the idea of solving hard technical challenges.
Come, join us in reinventing database systems for the cloud!
