About the position
Our team develops Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB API compatibility), a fully-managed cloud database that enables customers to persist JSON documents and retrieve them with a powerful query language. We are developing new query capabilities, pushing the bounds of performance, driving distributed systems innovation in scalability and high availability, and investing in user experience.
As a Senior Software Development Engineer, you will be a critical part of our development team, responsible for optimizing storage, indexing, and query performance of Amazon DocumentDB. You will take ownership of critical components, including the development of a query planner and executor, and index structures. This role places you at the heart of our core database technology team, where you will have the unique opportunity to collaborate directly with industry experts and drive the team's long-term vision forward. Your contributions will not only enhance our current database solutions but also shape the future of our technology.
If you are excited by the prospect of making it easier for customers to store, query, and analyze data at scale; if you are interested in databases, operating systems, distributed systems, and/or developer tools; and if you are looking to build an industry-leading document-based database - we would love to hear from you. Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility) is a fully managed native JSON document database that makes it easy and cost-effective to operate critical document workloads at virtually any scale without managing infrastructure.

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.
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. Work cross-functionally to help drive business decisions with your technical input. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we're building an environment that celebrates knowledge-sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews.
