Dynamodb Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Do you want to work on new scaling challenges for one of the largest databases on earth. Do you enjoy simplifying complex problems and working on distributed systems. Do you want to work on a product that can access petabytes of data in 9 milliseconds or less, back up hundreds of terabytes of data in seconds, even across continents.

DynamoDB is a key-value and document database that delivers single-digit-millisecond performance at any scale. As one of the largest distributed database systems in the world, we continue to believe it is Day 1 for the DynamoDB business. We are looking for a deeply technical, team-first software development engineer to push this product even further.

As our database continues to grow, we need to scale the product even further. We are rearchitecting DynamoDB's global footprint to make it even more scalable.
DynamoDB engineers are constantly challenged to think of unique and innovative solutions.
