Job Description
Job ID: 2894557 | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.
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

• You, acting as the “voice of the customer”, bring learnings to the engineering process to design new features and plan end-to-end test scenarios. By shaping the direction of the RDS service, you make it easier to understand how our service is used by customers, including database developers and administrators.
• You will actively drive feature enhancements, permanently resolve the root causes of issues, and improve the performance of our managed database service.
• You are viewed as the ultimate subject matter expertise for all things databases as your work will be highly sought by the development team, the support team, the account team and customers directly.
• You will interact with the open-source community via forums, conferences and feature or bug-fix code submissions.
• You will extend your knowledge to other database engines and not limited to PostgreSQL.
A day in the life
As you design and code solutions to help our team drive efficiencies in software architecture, you’ll create metrics, implement automation and other improvements, and resolve the root cause of software defects. You’ll also:

Work cross-functionally to help drive business decisions with your technical input.
Work in a startup-like development environment, where you’re always working on the most important stuff.
