Additional Information
Are you passionate about building a large-scale, distributed, highly available, and reliable in-memory database? We are building in-memory services, powered by open-source, and optimized for sub millisecond latency at scale. Come and join us to define the future of NoSQL at AWS. **
As a Sr Software Engineer in our NoSQL and in-memory database team, you will develop large-scale, distributed in-memory databases with sub-millisecond latency. You will leverage open source technologies like Redis, Memcached, and Amazon proprietary technologies. This includes data plane extremely fast and high throughput development, low level optimizations, asynchronous messaging, event-based technologies, real-time failure detection system, horizontal and vertical scaling, auto-remediation, high availability, fault tolerance, storage technologies, snapshooting, and disaster recovery.
- In this role, you will develop significant portions of the product and serve as a mentor for other engineers in their areas of work.
- You will work to enable a quality product and set the groundwork for success in the next phase of the product and beyond.
- A commitment to teamwork, hustle, and strong communication skills (to both business and technical partners) are absolute requirements.
- Creating a reliable, scalable, and high-performance service requires exceptional technical expertise, a sound understanding of the fundamentals of Computer Science, and practical experience building large-scale distributed systems.
- You should be someone who enjoys working on complex system software, is customer-centric, and feels strongly about building good software as well as making that software achieve its operational goals.
Come work with the folks who are not only building a highly-available and scalable in-memory distributed service but also influencing the direction of NoSQL systems throughout the industry.
