Software Development Engineer, AWS DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility)

Software Development Engineer, AWS DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility)

Job ID: 2733666 | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.

Join us to advance the state-of-the art in database technology and serve customers all around the world.

Our team develops Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility), a fully-managed cloud database that enables customers to persist JSON documents and retrieve them with a powerful query language. We are developing new query capabilities, pushing the bounds of performance, driving distributed systems innovation in scalability and high availability, and investing in user experience.

As an engineer on the team, you will collaborate with colleagues on research, prototyping, software design, and implementation. Our technical problems span all aspects of database systems – multiversion concurrency control (MVCC), transactions, query optimization, data storage, indexing, parallel computation, wire protocol translation/compilation – as well as distributed systems, telemetry, build and deployment technology, and API and UI design. You may choose to focus on an area, work across areas, or rotate over time. You will have the opportunity to interact with customers and to work with product managers to define product improvements. You will solve hard problems, grow your skills, and mentor others along the way.

If you are excited by the prospect of making it easier for customers to store, query, and analyze data at scale; if you are interested in databases, operating systems, distributed systems, and/or developer tools; and if you are looking to work with teammates to propose ideas, experiment, learn, and build great software – we would love to hear from you.

Key job responsibilities

Our engineers collaborate across diverse teams, projects, and environments to have a firsthand impact on our global customer base. You’ll bring a passion for innovation, data, search, analytics, and distributed systems. You’ll also:

1. Solve challenging technical problems, often ones not solved before, at every layer of the stack.
2. Design, implement, test, deploy and maintain innovative software solutions to transform service performance, durability, cost, and security.
3. Build high-quality, highly available, always-on products.
4. Research implementations that deliver the best possible experiences for customers.

A day in the life

As you design and code solutions to help our team drive efficiencies in software architecture, you’ll create metrics, implement automation and other improvements, and resolve the root cause of software defects. You’ll also:

1. Build high-impact solutions to deliver to our large customer base.
2. Participate in design discussions, code review, and communicate with internal and external stakeholders.
3. Work cross-functionally to help drive business decisions with your technical input.
4. Work in a startup-like development environment, where you’re always working on the most important stuff.
