Description Are you interested in building hyper-scale database services in the cloud? Do you want to revolutionize the way databases are built for the cloud ? Do you want to have direct and immediate impact on hundreds of thousands of users who use AWS database services? Amazon Aurora is a MySQL and Postgres compatible, relational database service that combines the speed and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. It provides up to five times better performance than MySQL at a price point one tenth that of a commercial database while delivering similar performance and availability. Amazon Aurora is powered by an auto-scaling, auto-healing, distributed storage cluster of massive world-wide scale. Amazon Aurora Global Database enables customers to replicate their data across multiple AWS Regions with sub-second replication lag, providing cross-region disaster recovery. It supports both MySQL and PostgreSQL compatibility and allows customers to serve globally distributed read traffic with local latency while maintaining a single, consistent source of truth. Aurora Global Database is powered by Aurora's innovative storage-level replication technology. The Aurora Global Database team is looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer who is excited about building globally distributed replication systems that span dozens of AWS Regions and serve mission-critical workloads for the world's largest enterprises. Customer demand for cross-region disaster recovery has reached an all-time peak as organizations accelerate cloud adoption and face increasingly stringent compliance, data sovereignty, and business continuity requirements. You will own the design and implementation of core systems that power cross-region failover, managed planned switchover, write forwarding, and global consistency guarantees at massive scale. Key job responsibilities In this hands-on position, you will design and build high-performance replication pipelines, drive cross-Region failover orchestration, and define the architecture for the next generation of global database capabilities. You will mentor engineers across the team, influence technical direction, and deliver solutions that directly improve recovery time for customers during regional outages. A successful candidate will bring deep expertise in distributed systems, strong ownership, and the ability to thrive in a fast-moving environment where the work you do has immediate, measurable business impact for AWS customers worldwide.
