Senior Database Engineer, RDS and Aurora MySQL Database Engineering

This role sits at the intersection of database technology innovation and customer success, focusing on RDS and Aurora MySQL database engineering. As a senior engineer, you'll be instrumental in designing and implementing solutions that directly impact AWS's database services while working with cutting-edge cloud technology.

The position offers a unique opportunity to work on one of AWS's fastest-growing services, where you'll be responsible for innovating and engineering solutions in database technology.

AWS offers a collaborative environment where knowledge-sharing and mentorship are valued. You'll be part of a team that celebrates diverse experiences and perspectives, with access to extensive learning resources and career development opportunities. The company's culture emphasizes work-life harmony and provides comprehensive benefits.

The ideal candidate will bring deep technical knowledge of MySQL databases, strong systems engineering experience, and a proven track record of working directly with customers. You'll be joining a team that values innovation, customer obsession, and technical excellence, working on services that power some of the world's most important applications.

This role offers competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts millions of customers worldwide.
