Software Development Engineer, Aurora Control Plane

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS's services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you'll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (IoT), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS.

The Amazon Aurora Platform team focuses on building scalable control plane services and patterns to support the rapid growth of Aurora. Aurora is a distributed, fault-tolerant database service, leveraging a self-healing storage system that auto-scales up to 128TB. It 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!

As a Sr. Engineer on the team, you will design and implement services and intelligent tooling to allow Amazon Aurora to scale faster, with emphasis on safety, deployment velocity, and operational effectiveness. We are looking for Sr. Software Development Engineers who have built a lot of software – shipped products and created platforms, tools, 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.

AWS values diverse experiences and fosters a culture of inclusion through employee-led affinity groups and ongoing events. The company offers mentorship, career growth opportunities, and strives for work-life harmony. Join a team that operates like a start-up but leverages the resources and stability of being the largest cloud provider.
