The Redshift Builder Experience team is seeking a Senior Software Development Engineer to work on critical infrastructure that powers Redshift's development, testing, and deployment processes.

As a Senior SDE, you'll be at the intersection of developer tooling, scaled test frameworks, and distributed systems, working to improve the pace of innovation and delivery for the Redshift organization.

This is an opportunity to have a lasting impact on a rapidly growing service that processes petabyte-scale data warehousing solutions.
