Do you want to be part of a team that builds hyper‑scaler database services in the cloud? Are you interested in revolutionizing the way people manage vast volumes of data in the cloud, impacting hundreds of thousands of users who use AWS database services?

It provides unparalleled high‑performance and availability at a global scale with full MySQL and PostgreSQL compatibility at 1/10th the cost of commercial databases. Aurora delivers 5× the throughput of MySQL and 3× of PostgreSQL.

You maintain high standards with your coding, design and documentation, have a continuous learning mindset, relish investigating and solving complex problems, and communicate clearly in both verbal and written forms.
