Full Job Description

AWS Database Migration Service has migrated more than 1.5 million workloads to AWS, helping enterprises move from commercial databases (Oracle, SQL Server, DB2) to open-source Aurora and RDS (PostgreSQL, MySQL). As a Senior Database Engineer on the DMS team, you will be a technical leader and the highest-severity escalation point for complex database migration and replication issues across multiple engines. You'll own the resolution of the hardest customer problems - the ones that require deep understanding of database internals, replication protocols, and the DMS engine's interaction with source and target systems. You'll set the standard for how the team investigates, diagnoses, and resolves production incidents, and you'll drive systemic improvements that prevent entire categories of issues from reaching customers. This role sits at the intersection of deep database expertise and engineering leadership. You'll mentor DBE2s and SDEs, influence product direction based on patterns you observe across escalations, design test strategies that catch issues before customers hit them, and collaborate directly with Principal Engineers on architecture decisions. You'll also shape how the team leverages AI-powered diagnostic tooling to scale expertise across the organization - making every engineer more effective at database troubleshooting. AWS Database Migration Service is a part of AWS Utility Computing (UC) which provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS's services and features apart in the industry. Key job responsibilities Own resolution of the most complex customer escalations involving heterogeneous database migration and CDC replication - Oracle LogMiner/Binary Reader, SQL Server fn_dblog/CDC, PostgreSQL logical decoding, MySQL binlog parsing - across production environments Lead root cause ana
