The role is for a software development engineer focused on enhancing DynamoDB, one of the largest distributed database systems. The team is dedicated to solving complex scaling challenges and delivering high-performance services. Engineers will work collaboratively to manage day-to-day development activities while also contributing to innovative solutions. The position emphasizes hands-on involvement in all aspects of the software development lifecycle.

Requirements

  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language
  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience, including coding standards and operations
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, manage, optimize, and re-imagine highly distributed, large-scale services.
  • Translate complex functional and technical requirements into detailed architecture and design.
  • Participate in designs, design reviews, code reviews, and implementation.
  • Deliver quality features on-time and on-budget while executing against project plans.
  • Contribute to the intellectual property of Amazon through patents and external publications.

Benefits

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
