The AWS DynamoDB team is looking for a talented Software Development Engineer to join our fast-moving observability and scaling team. We build and manage a highly scalable, distributed key-value database service and focus on the hard problems so customers can focus on their business. Many of the world's fastest growing businesses depend on the scale and performance of DynamoDB to support their mission-critical workloads. DynamoDB is a key-value database that delivers single-digit-millisecond performance on a massive scale and incredibly high rate of requests per second.
You and your team have the unique perspective and visibility into the core component's performance in DynamoDB. You will build new instrumentation and metrics to understand which components contribute to how much latency, and work on latency reduction efforts at every percentile. Additionally, you will drive and set the performance target for each component and continuously improve DynamoDB's capacity management model.
