About The Position

Want to make an impact on the data industry? Want to help Amazon building next
generation data replication system that can scale to support migrating thousands
of databases to AWS quickly and securely?

The AWS Database Migration Service (DMS) migrated more than 1.5M+ databases. DMS
service can migrate customer data to and from the most widely used commercial
and open-source databases. It supports homogeneous migrations such as Oracle to
Oracle, as well as heterogeneous migrations between different database
platforms, such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server to Amazon Aurora. DMS can also
continuously replicate data with low latency from any supported source to any
supported target. For example, you can replicate from multiple sources to Amazon
S3 to build a highly available and scalable data lake solution. DMS can also
consolidate databases into a petabyte-scale data warehouse by streaming data to
Amazon Redshift. More information on AWS DMS is available at
http://aws.amazon.com/dms.
