Software Development Manager, Aurora DSQL

Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Seattle, WA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/8/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/7/2026
Description

Amazon Aurora DSQL is a serverless, distributed SQL database that combines the performance and scalability of cloud-native architecture with the familiarity and ecosystem of PostgreSQL. Aurora DSQL automatically scales compute and storage, delivers high availability across regions, and eliminates operational overhead—while remaining compatible with PostgreSQL applications and tooling.

As a Software Development Manager on the DSQL Commit team, you will be responsible for leading a strong team of software engineers that are responsible for the write path of DSQL transactions. This includes conflict detection, scaling writes and data durability. You will be responsible for mentoring and coaching a high-performing team of engineers with expertise in both distributed systems. You will be responsible for the full development life cycle and operation of services. You will work with the product team and other engineering teams to help build the roadmap and ensure the right thing is being built and delivered to customers.
