Description
Amazon DynamoDB powers many of the world"s fastest-growing businesses, including Lyft, Airbnb, and Redfin. It also powers enterprises such as Samsung, Toyota, and Capital One. Within Amazon, it runs high-traffic properties including Alexa, Amazon.com, and every Amazon fulfillment center. DynamoDB is one of the largest distributed database systems in the world. We believe it is always Day 1, and we keep improving the service and adding new capabilities.
DynamoDB customers count on consistent single-digit millisecond performance at any scale, high availability, and durable data. Testing is how DynamoDB keeps those promises with every change it ships. The Test Infrastructure team builds test frameworks that every DynamoDB engineer uses to validate features, run integration and performance tests, and qualify releases. When test infrastructure is fast and reliable, every DynamoDB team delivers features faster.
Testing is also central to how DynamoDB speeds up delivery as engineers bring AI agents into their development work. An agent can only correct its own mistakes if it can run a change against a realistic system and see the result. Ready-to-run test clusters give agents that feedback loop. The features this team builds let DynamoDB engineers use AI-assisted development for changes that need more than unit tests, and they let DynamoDB add automated testing to every code review and every release.
Key job responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate the test infrastructure, frameworks, and tooling that power DynamoDB testing.
- Build test infrastructure that AI agents can use on their own, with clusters ready on demand and results, logs, and metrics an agent can act on.
- Treat DynamoDB engineers as your customers. Reduce how long they wait for test results and how often their tests fail because of infrastructure.
- Own features end to end, from design through deployment and operation, and deliver ambiguous projects with minimal guidance.
- Debug failures across services and fix root causes in the system.
About Company
At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.
Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.
It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
