Senior System Development Engineer, DynamoDB Seattle, Washington, USA Imagine a system that stores petabytes of customer data and handles peaks of more than 20 million requests per second, responding in single-digit milliseconds. Imagine the number of servers required to power such a system. Now imagine the high-performance network infrastructure required to ensure such a system operates with near-perfect availability at this low latency. The Amazon DynamoDB Networking Technologies team owns DynamoDB's border networking, ensuring low latency and high availability. The systems we own are high scale and high performance: they must not add overhead to the extremely low latencies our customers expect. They also must be fault tolerant: network failures are inevitable, but our systems ensure that DynamoDB customers see no impact when failures occur. We are looking for an experienced systems development engineer who is interested in building systems that balance load, manage heat, and adapt to failures, all without human intervention at a massive scale.
