- You will act as the “Voice of the Customer” to help developers understand how customers use databases in the real world.
- You will own the design for system level validation of the service.
- You will actively drive feature enhancements, permanently resolve the root causes of issues, and improve the performance of our managed database service.
- You are viewed as the ultimate subject matter expertise for all things databases as your work will be highly sought by support team, and account teams and customers directly.
- You will interact with the open-source community via forums, conferences and feature or bug-fix code submissions.

In summary, you will engage and contribute in the full product cycle: feature brainstorming, design, implementation, validation and customer escalation.
