About the Role
Amazon is breaking new ground and changing the rules for relational databases. At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we are the public cloud.

We are creatively and disruptively solving some of the most complex database problems related to immense growth, scaling, leveraging the cloud, extremely high performance and high availability requirements.
