We are looking for talented database engineers who are passionate about databases and data warehouses, and enthusiastic about applying bold new ideas to real-world problems. You should be forward-looking and aware of the latest database technology offerings (including both relational and NoSQL) and migration methodologies. As a Database Engineer, you will review new and existing transportation technology applications, identify and architect appropriate RDBMS database solutions (including PostgreSQL, MySQL), and work with Big Data and NoSQL-based cloud computing and storage technologies. You will be responsible for executing projects to deliver high-quality deliverables on time, defining development processes for continuous improvement, and driving technology direction while effectively leading the database engineering team.

Key job responsibilities
This role requires an Engineer with 4+ years experience in RDBMS database solutions and combines both consulting and hands-on expertise. The position involves helping with new and existing database implementations, developing tools to facilitate database migration, identifying and architecting appropriate RDS-based storage technologies, executing projects to deliver high-quality deliverables on time, defining continuous improvement processes, driving technology direction, and effectively leading the database engineering team.

You will work with multiple internal teams who are transitioning their storage between RDBMS and DynamoDB platforms. Using your deep technical expertise, strong relationship-building skills, and documentation abilities, you will create technical content, provide consultation to customers, and gather feedback to drive the AWS RDS support offering. As the voice of the customer, you will work closely with RDS product managers and engineering teams to help design and deliver new features and product improvements that address critical customer challenges.

A day in the life
A typical day on our team involves collaborating with other engineers to deploy new databases through our large automated systems while providing operational support for your newly deployed software. You will seek out innovative approaches to automate fixes for operational issues, leverage AWS services to solve design problems, and engage with other internal teams to integrate your applications with theirs.

You'll be part of a world-class team in an inclusive environment that maintains the entrepreneurial feel of a start-up. This is an opportunity to operate and engineer systems on a massive scale, and to gain top-notch experience in database storage technologies
