Together with a diverse team, you will work backwards from customer needs to define the future of DynamoDB.

About the role

AWS Utility Computing (UC) 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. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (IoT), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

Many of the world's fastest growing businesses such as Disney+, Snap, Zoom, Lyft, Airbnb, and Redfin depend on the scale and performance of DynamoDB to support some of the world’s most demanding applications. Hundreds of thousands of AWS customers choose DynamoDB for mobile, web, gaming, ad tech, IoT, and other applications that need low-latency data access at any scale.
