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. We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer to drive improvements to the scalability and performance of the core replication engine to handle ever growing data volumes and variety of databases.
