Full Job Description
Are you interested in building next-generation hyper-scale distributed systems in the cloud? Amazon Redshift is a rapidly growing, fast, and fully managed petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud. Tens of thousands of customers rely on Redshift to analyze exabytes of data every day to power their most critical analytics workloads. Join the Amazon Redshift Data Foundation team to solve some of the most challenging problems in petabyte-scale distributed data systems. Our team owns the critical foundation that underpins Redshift's storage, metadata, durability, and reliability guarantees — the cornerstone on which every query, every table, and every customer workload depends. You will dive deep into complex interactions within the Redshift engine, tackling large-scale, high-complexity problems that span data storage architecture, durability mechanisms, and performance optimization at massive scale. We're looking for an engineer with a strong understanding of distributed systems, storage internals, and the curiosity to ask the right questions as we build a best-in-class cloud analytics database engine. You will design and deliver features that keep Redshift at the forefront of cloud analytics — ensuring data is always safe, always accessible, and always fast. * Databases or Distributed Systems experience is mandatory; Storage and C++ experience is a plus. Key job responsibilities - Innovate architecture that address scalability, reliability, and performance for large-scale distributed systems - Design and develop core storage and metadata, that operate reliably at petabyte scale - Solve large-scale, high-complexity problems spanning data durability, availability, consistency, and performance - Debug deep, cross-cutting issues that require understanding the full stack — from query planning to distributed storage to on-disk data formats - Drive performance improvements in storage I/O paths, metadata access patterns, and in-memory caching - Improve reliability an
