DESCRIPTION
Job summary
Come and change the way our customers interact with relational database solutions at scale!
The AWS Relational Database Service (RDS) is one of the fastest-growing AWS businesses, providing super-simple provisioning and management for relational databases in the cloud. Customers can set up a new database with just a few clicks, and complex administrative tasks like scaling, fail-over, and monitoring are all handled in an automated fashion by our control systems.
As a software developer manager in the RDS Platform team in Dublin/The Hague, you will get to lead a team that designs, develop and deploy quality solutions that help external customers interface at scale with the RDS service via its API.
About the team
Work/Life Balance
Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. Although the immediate team is located in Dublin and The Hague offices, we interact with teams across many other locations such as Seattle, Vancouver, Palo Alto and Sydney. We like to meet in the office for face-to-face interactions but support occasional work from home if needed. We try to keep core availability hours from 10 am to 4 pm and provide flexibility for people to structure their working hours around them.
On-Call Responsibilities
The position involves manager on-call responsibilities, one weekend every 3 months. We don’t like getting paged, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant and that our alarms are well calibrated. When we do get paged, we work together to first mitigate and then resolve the root cause so we don’t get paged for the same issue twice.
Mentorship & Career Growth
Developing our people is celebrated as part of our team culture. We are dedicated to supporting each other and you will get plenty of opportunities to share your unique knowledge and to mentor others. We believe that developing others is an integral part of developing yourself and we have a very diverse collection of backgrounds, levels of experience and Amazon tenure to support this. Our engineers enjoy growing others through one-on-one mentoring and constructive design and code reviews.
Inclusive Team Culture
While delivering cool software, our team is intentional about building a climate where respect, equity and positive recognition of differences are cultivated as we think it is the best environment to foster innovation. We are looking for new teammates that are enthusiastic, empathetic and curious and help us amplify the positive & inclusive team culture we are building.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or related technical discipline

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Amazon is closely following the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and implementing processes that promote candidate and employee safety. Out of an abundance of caution, our default process for on-site interviews will now be held virtually via Amazon Chime.
At AWS, many of our global corporate offices remain a workplace option. We maintain rigorous safety protocols, follow occupancy limits, as well as adhere to any unique government-issued requirements. We also offer flexibility to work in the office, home, or a combination of both until June 30, 2021 for employees based in their regular country and state/province of employment.
