Software Dev Engineer II, G2 Team

Job | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.

Are you interested in building hyper‑scale database services in the cloud? Do you want to revolutionize how users manage vast volumes of data and have an immediate impact on hundreds of thousands of users? Amazon Aurora, a MySQL/PostgreSQL‑compatible relational database engine, offers up to five times better performance than MySQL/PostgreSQL at a fraction of the price while delivering comparable availability.

These core systems roles own the design and development of critical storage‑engine software components, requiring strong coding skills, excellent communication, and a customer‑focus mindset.

This hands‑on position also includes mentoring other engineers and shaping the technology, product, and business in a fast‑growing environment.
