Job description

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 Neptune as well as contributes to the overall open source graph community.

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 engine and also uses foundational AWS services such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), and Amazon DynamoDB to deliver a simple and cost-effective database solution for customers worldwide.

We are looking for an experienced, self-motivated engineer who has no fear of going deep and helping teams to solve the toughest graph database problems. As an SDE on Neptune, you will design and deliver new technologies and features that drive Neptune's graph query execution, high availability, reliability, and performance guarantees to AWS customers. You will participate in project execution to develop cutting-edge database 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.
