Full Job Description
Amazon Aurora DSQL is a serverless, distributed SQL database with virtually unlimited scale, highest availability, and zero infrastructure management. Aurora DSQL provides active-active high availability, delivering strong data consistency designed for 99.99% single-Region and 99.999% multi-Region availability. Aurora DSQL automatically manages and scales system resources, so you don't have to worry about maintenance downtime, provisioning, patching, or upgrading infrastructure. The Aurora DSQL JumpStart team is revolutionizing how developers build applications with databases, especially in the agentic era. We're making DSQL easy for AI-assisted development by creating frictionless developer experiences, building integrations with modern development tools, and establishing DSQL as a leading database integrated with frameworks and AI coding assistants. As part of the JumpStart team, you'll work at the intersection of database technology and developer experience. You'll build tools, documentation, integrations, and user interfaces that enable millions of developers—both human and AI agents—to successfully build applications on DSQL. This includes creating MCP servers for AI coding tools like Kiro and Claude Code, building console experiences that delight developers, developing authentication helpers and ORM adapters, and crafting example-rich documentation that AI models can consume. An ideal candidate has experience building developer tools, SDKs, or developer-facing products, understands both backend systems and front-end user experiences, and thrives on rapid iteration. You'll work with AI coding assistants daily, understand their strengths and limitations, and design solutions that work seamlessly for both human developers and AI agents. You're comfortable working across the full stack—from database drivers and authentication systems to console UIs and documentation—and can move quickly to validate ideas and ship improvements.
