Software Development Engineer, RDS Platform Vancouver, British Columbia, CAN We are looking for a highly-skilled, experienced, and motivated software engineer to help us in our endeavour to make AWS the best place to operate relational databases. The RDS Platform team builds and operates the foundational infrastructure that powers every RDS and Aurora control plane operation - from the metadata layer that tracks millions of customer databases, to the backup and disaster recovery systems that ensure data durability for customers. This is a rare opportunity to work across cross-cutting technologies spanning database internals, distributed storage systems, and high-availability architecture - building systems that customers depend on to reliably create, operate, protect, and recover their databases at any scale.

As a foundational AWS platform, our solutions must be solid, scalable, efficient, and highly fault tolerant. You will own all aspects of engineering including development, testing, deployment, and operational excellence of your services. You will work across team boundaries on shared infrastructure challenges - evolving legacy architectures,
