Senior Software Development Engineer (graph Database) Job in Amazon

DESCRIPTION

Be part of a fast-growing service that is taking on hard technical challenges to build a high-performance, fully managed graph database. Amazon Neptune is a purpose-built, enterprise-class AWS graph database service. Our team develops builds and operates the distributed system used by customers worldwide for Amazon Neptune. Our engineers know that building a control plane to manage large scale cloud native databases is fun and challenging.

Amazon Neptune is a fast, scalable, fully-managed graph database service that makes it easy to build and run applications that work with highly connected datasets. The core of Amazon Neptune is a purpose-built, high-performance graph database engine optimized for storing hundreds of billions of relationships and querying with milliseconds latency, allowing you to easily build queries that efficiently navigate highly connected datasets. Amazon Neptune supports popular graph models Property Graph and W3C's RDF, and their respective query languages Apache TinkerPop Gremlin and SPARQL to help developers quickly build graph applications.

Neptune powers graph use cases such as recommendation engines, fraud detection, knowledge graphs, drug discovery, network security, and many more. Amazon Neptune is built for cloud scalability, durability, availability, and performance. Neptune is building a purpose-built graph database, but we dont need you to be an expert in databases or distributed systems as you will have a chance to learn with your team. We are attracted to engineers who love what they do and are passionate about their work. We value interest and great engineering over knowledge in specific frameworks. Our technologies include:
Core Java 8
RESTful microservices powered by internal RPC framework
Many AWS stack services DynamoDB, Lambdas, API Gateway, CloudFormation. Where can you learn AWS technologies better than at AWS itself?
Python 3 for infrastructural components and services

This is a unique and rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor in an emerging space that is shaping the future of the industry. We are looking for candidates who will bring deep technical and engineering skills, combined with a passion for agile code development and working in teams with a startup culture within a larger organization.
