This role is for a Software Development Engineer on the In-Memory Computing Platform team at AWS, focusing on building a high-performance in-memory distributed data storage platform. The team is responsible for developing systems that enable low-latency and high-throughput applications for AWS customers. Engineers will work on large-scale distributed systems, primarily using Java and C/C++. The team values collaboration, technical depth, and mentorship, aiming to push the boundaries of NoSQL systems.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 2+ years of design or architecture experience of new and existing systems
  • 1+ years of software development engineer or related occupational experience
  • 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications
  • 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language
  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience

Responsibilities

  • Design and build the next-generation in-memory NoSQL database platform.
  • Lead software development of large-scale distributed in-memory storage systems.
  • Develop and operate HTTP/REST services and event-driven architectures.
  • Build and improve real-time failure detection and auto-remediation systems.
  • Drive horizontal and vertical scaling capabilities and fault tolerance mechanisms.
  • Contribute to disaster recovery and prevention strategies.
  • Mentor and grow junior engineers on the team.
  • Manage individual project priorities, deadlines, and deliverables.

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.
