Sr. Software Development Engineer, Aurora Storage
Job ID: 10403396 | Amazon.com Services LLC
Are you interested in building hyper-scale database services in the cloud? Do you want to revolutionize the way databases are built for the cloud? Do you want to have direct and immediate impact on hundreds of thousands of users who use AWS database services?
Amazon Aurora is a MySQL and Postgres compatible, relational database service that combines the speed and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. It provides up to five times better performance than MySQL at a price point one tenth that of a commercial database while delivering similar performance and availability. Amazon Aurora is powered by an auto‑scaling, auto‑healing, distributed storage cluster of massive world‑wide scale.
The Aurora Storage team is looking for experienced software engineers who are excited about building large‑scale systems spanning tens of thousands of servers, across multiple data‑centers worldwide. These are core systems development positions where you will own the design and development of significant software components critical to our industry‑leading database services architected for the cloud.
In this hands‑on position you will be asked to do everything from building rock‑solid components to mentoring other engineers. You need to not only be a top software developer with a good track record of delivering, but also excel in communication, leadership and customer focus. This is a unique and rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor within a fast growing business and help shape technology, product and business.
Key job responsibilities
Solve challenging technical problems, often ones not solved before, at every layer of the stack.
Design, implement, test, deploy and maintain innovative software solutions to transform service performance, durability, cost, and security.
Build high‑quality, highly available, always‑on products.
Research implementations that deliver the best possible experiences for customers.
A day in the life
Build high‑impact solutions to deliver to our large customer base.
Participate in design discussions, code review, and communicate with internal and external stakeholders.
Work cross‑functionally to help drive business decisions with your technical input.
Work in a startup‑like development environment, where you’re always working on the most important stuff.
Basic Qualifications
5+ years of non‑internship professional software development experience.
5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language.
5+ years of leading design or architecture of new and existing systems (design patterns, reliability and scaling).
Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team.
Preferred Qualifications
5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience.
Bachelor’s degree in computer science or equivalent.
The base salary range for this position is 168,100.00 – 227,400.00 USD annually. Your Amazon package will include sign‑on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location.
Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
Amazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status.
