Software Engineer Ii, Aws Dynamodb Request Router

Kirkland, WA, United States

Job Description


Want to shape the future of a NoSQL database service that supports mission-critical workloads operating at more than 20 million requests per second? Let\'s take its speed and efficiency to the next level!

Amazon DynamoDB is a key-value and document database that delivers single-digit-millisecond performance at any scale. As a fast-growing service at the core of the AWS Cloud, our business and engineering decisions have widespread impact across AWS, Amazon, and beyond. Many of the world\'s fastest growing businesses such as Lyft, Airbnb, and Redfin, as well as enterprises such as Samsung, Toyota, and Capital One depend on the scale and performance of DynamoDB to support their workloads. On the DynamoDB team, you will see the impact your work has on the world.

The Request Router team\xe2\x80\x99s charter is to provide a service that allows DynamoDB customers to connect to DynamoDB endpoints in all regions seamlessly and securely, authenticate and authorize customer requests and route requests to the storage end point based on the data in the request with high availability, scalability and low latency. The team\xe2\x80\x99s charter also includes providing the best customer experience in creating, managing and accessing DynamoDB resources (tables and indexes) using DynamoDB APIs. As a software development engineer on the DynamoDB Request Router team, you will help evolve the existing architecture into a next-generation, high-performance system that customers will use to access data even faster and operate at scale more efficiently.

DynamoDB engineers say DynamoDB is a technically challenging space that requires unique and innovative solutions. As a member of this team, you will solve the hardest challenges in distributed systems. You will help lead an amazing team of intelligent individuals to deliver results that make our customers\' experience even better. You will interact with senior SDEs and principal engineers, and they will help you take your design and architectural skills to the next level.

Our systems must remain highly available, scalable, and efficient. We can\'t get away with two out of three. You will design systems that adhere to these tenets and mentor junior engineers to do the same. You will be a thoughtful steward of existing systems, appropriately challenging assumptions and rearchitecting systems when necessary to allow us to scale for growth.

If you want to test your limits and tackle technical challenges you won\'t find anywhere else, join our team!
