Job description
Alameda is the next generation control plane as a service operating more than 14 AWS Services. Just like EC2, EBS, and RDS modernized compute, storage and databases, Alameda provides a modernize AWS scaled and secured building blocks (API, Workflows, Telemetry...) that lets developers focus on writing core business value. Alameda removes the undifferentiated lift of writing services, while simultaneously providing secure by default, AWS scaled runtime services.

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to lead the Alameda Observability team and innovate new observability infrastructure powering RDS - a massive distributed system architecture supporting one of the largest managed database fleets on the planet.

This space is on an accelerated high-growth trajectory with opportunities to rethink how traditional observability services were built and reimagine them as cloud-native from the ground up. The work requires solving the hardest engineering challenges in distributed systems and networking at massive scale, with significant bottom-line impact on the RDS business and competitive position.

A successful candidate will have the experience and skill to set a strategic technical vision, provide hands-on guidance to the team, innovate on developer experience, and drive operational efficiency.

Key job responsibilities
Our engineers collaborate across diverse teams, projects, and environments to have a firsthand impact on our global customer base. You’ll bring a passion for innovation, data, search, analytics, and distributed systems. You’ll also:
- Solve challenging technical problems, often ones not solved before, at every layer of the stack.
- Design, implement, test, deploy and maintain innovative software solutions to transform service performance, durability, cost, and security.
- Build high-quality, highly available, always-on products.
- Research implementations that deliver the best possible experiences for customers.

A day in the life
As you design and code solutions to help our team drive efficiencies in software architecture, you’ll create metrics, implement automation and other improvements, and resolve the root cause of software defects. You’ll also:
- Build high-impact solutions to deliver to our large customer base.
- Participate in design discussions, code review, and communicate with internal and external stakeholders.
- Work cross-functionally to help drive business decisions with your technical input.
- Work in a startup-like development environment, where you’re always working on the most important stuff.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- 5+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 5+ years of programming with at least one software programming language experience
- 5+ years of leading design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- 5+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
