Sr Database Manager Jobs in Bothell, WA (NOW HIRING)

Do you want to work in Relational Database Service (RDS) for PostgreSQL which is one of the fastest growing AWS businesses. PostgreSQL is the only DBMS that has been named the database of the year 3 times by DB-Engines DBMS of the year. It is one of the fastest growing databases in the industry where related expertise and experience is highly sought after.

Our team's (the Database Engineering Team for RDS and Aurora PostgreSQL) mission is to build, improve and manage PostgreSQL as a fully managed database service. This is not a typical DBA or DBE role where you manage databases for specific customers. Instead, you are an integral part of the core database engineering team as you will work closely with developers and product and program managers.

You will engage and contribute in the full product cycle: feature brainstorming, design, implementation, validation and customer escalation.
AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations - from foundational services such as Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS's services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you'll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services
