About The Position

If you want to be part of engineering team that is shaping the future of NoSQL
databases, then Amazon DocumentDB might be a great fit for you. As a member of
DocumentDB team, you will work on every facet of computer science including
distributed computing, large-scale design, big and real-time data processing,
data storage, service oriented architecture, networking, machine learning, and
artificial intelligence. We are looking for highly-motivated and passionate
engineers to build our next generation high performance document database engine
and data storage platform to solve real-time query, transaction and analytics
processing for large scale data applications. You will also get to work with
exceptional team members and be directly involved in growing and mentoring
junior engineers on the team.

Amazon DocumentDB (https://aws.amazon.com/documentdb/
[https://aws.amazon.com/documentdb/] ) is a fast, scalable, highly available,
and fully managed document database service that supports MongoDB workloads. Our
customers use MongoDB as a document database to store, retrieve, and manage
semi-structured data. However, it is hard to build performant, highly available
applications that can quickly scale to multiple terabytes and hundreds of
thousands of reads- and writes-per-second because of the complexity that comes
with setting up and managing MongoDB clusters at scale. Amazon DocumentDB is
designed from the ground-up to give you the performance, scalability, and
availability you need when operating mission-critical MongoDB workloads at
scale. Amazon DocumentDB uses a distributed, fault-tolerant, self-healing
storage system that auto-scales up to 64 TB per database cluster.

To apply for this role, we are looking for folks with solid analytical, design
and problem diagnosis skills, expertise with systems programming, database
internals, high-performance applications, distributed systems or service design
is a plus. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities
and be enthusiastic to tackle new problems across the full-stack as we continue
to push technology forward. With your technical expertise you will manage
individual projects priorities, deadlines and deliverables. You will design,
develop, test, deploy, maintain, and enhance software solutions.
