Job Description:

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.

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.
