Amazon • Seattle, WA

About The Position

Amazon Aurora DSQL is a serverless, distributed SQL database that combines the
performance and scalability of cloud-native architecture with the familiarity
and ecosystem of PostgreSQL. Aurora DSQL automatically scales compute and
storage, delivers high availability across regions, and eliminates operational
overhead—while remaining compatible with PostgreSQL applications and tooling.

As a Software Development Manager on the DSQL Commit team, you will be
responsible for leading a strong team of software engineers that are responsible
for the write path of DSQL transactions. This includes conflict detection,
scaling writes and data durability. You will be responsible for mentoring and
coaching a high-performing team of engineers with expertise in both distributed
systems. You will be responsible for the full development life cycle and
operation of services. You will work with the product team and other engineering
teams to help build the roadmap and ensure the right thing is being built and
delivered to customers.
