Amazon Web Services is hiring a Software Development Engineer
III for the
RDS for
Oracle team. We are looking for an experienced engineer to design and build the next generation of managed database services that power mission-critical applications worldwide.
About the Role
As a Software Development Engineer
III on the
RDS for
Oracle team, you will own the design and implementation of complex features that scale to millions of database instances. You will work on the full stack—from kernel-level optimizations and storage architecture to customer-facing APIs and operational tooling. Your work directly impacts how enterprises run their most critical databases on
AWS.
Key Responsibilities
You will lead the architecture and design of large-scale, distributed database systems using
RDS Oracle in
AWS cloud environments. This includes optimizing performance for high-availability and scalability, developing solutions that integrate Linux-based
RDS Oracle with
AWS infrastructure, and designing integrations between
Oracle and other
AWS services such as
EC2, VPC, and IAM.
You will serve as a technical lead for enterprise-level database services, addressing complex customer requirements and concerns. You will collaborate with account managers and solution architects to design and implement database solutions that meet specific enterprise needs. You will engage directly with customers to gather requirements, provide technical consultations, and support complex implementations, translating customer needs into technical specifications and product roadmap items.
You will lead
agile development cycles to quickly prototype, develop, and deploy new database features and improvements. You will balance speed of delivery with code quality, security, and scalability requirements. You will stay abreast of competitor offerings and contribute to
product strategy by proposing and implementing innovative features to maintain
AWS's competitive edge in the database services market.
You will develop and implement strategies for managing database performance at massive scale, supporting thousands of concurrent customers. This includes creating advanced monitoring and troubleshooting tools for large-scale database deployments and designing sophisticated automation systems for database management tasks. You will integrate AI and ML technologies to enhance database performance, security, and ease of use.
You will ensure all database solutions meet required security standards and compliance regulations such as FedRAMP,
GDPR, and
HIPAA. You will develop and implement security best practices for database management in cloud environments.
You will provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior team members, conduct design reviews, and offer feedback on architecture, performance, and scalability issues. You will create comprehensive technical documentation for internal teams and customers, including best practices guides, whitepapers, and other educational materials related to
RDS Oracle on
AWS.
Required Qualifications
You have 7 or more years of software development experience, with deep expertise in at least one of the following: database systems, distributed systems, storage architecture, or systems programming. You have demonstrated ability to design and implement large-scale systems that handle millions of concurrent operations. You have strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and system design. You have experience with C,
C++,
Java, or
Python. You have excellent communication skills and can explain complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Preferred Qualifications
You have experience with relational databases, particularly
Oracle. You have worked on cloud infrastructure or managed services. You have experience with
AWS services or similar cloud platforms. You have contributed to open-source projects. You have experience with operational excellence practices and incident response.
