Principal Software Engineer, Aurora Storage

Aurora Storage, internally known as Grover, is a highly available, self-healing, and six-way replicated storage service purpose-built for cloud databases. Unlike other relational databases, Aurora's separation of compute and storage enables offloading several critical functions such as transaction redo logging, crash recovery, and backup/restore to Grover. Grover also enables customer-facing features facilitating data recovery, logical replication, and improved performance.

• Work with leaders across database services organization to define our business and architecture vision
• Own the architecture, existing and future, for Aurora storage layer
• Share updates with AWS leadership, get buy-in, and work with all stakeholder teams
• Be the default mentor for all engineers on the team
• Establish and demand best practices through your engineering leadership
• Immerse yourself in the entire software development lifecycle
• Take on the most challenging design and development problems personally
• Lead by example to deliver exceptional results

You should be passionate about designing large scale and resilient storage systems, innovating and supporting new technological architectures. We are looking for pragmatic visionaries who can translate customer needs into workable technology solutions. Your expertise should be deep and broad, with the ability to produce both detailed technical work and high-level architectural designs.
