Amazon Aurora is a MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible, relational database engine that combines the speed and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. Aurora also manages all the work needed to set up, operate, and scale a database, from provisioning capacity and installing software to monitoring and backing up the cluster, to applying patches and upgrades. By automating these labor-intensive tasks, Amazon Aurora enables customers to spend their time focusing on their data and business insights, rather than on procuring and managing infrastructure.

- Work on a disruptive product that's still in its very early stages
- Solve challenging problems that will revolutionize database computing in the cloud
- Work for a company that's a recognized leader in the cloud computing space
- Have direct impact on hundreds and thousands of users of AWS database services
- Be involved in the fast growing, big data space - learn from the experts
This role will focus on defining seamless user experiences across Aurora, which involves improving the getting started experience, query execution experience, building new experiences that better utilize generative AI, etc. In this position, you will play a pivotal role defining product requirements and tirelessly champion the needs of our customers. You'll work with our customers, partners, software vendors, and operational stakeholders to prioritize roadmap features, and spearhead the definition of new capabilities through expertly crafted business requirements documents.
The successful candidate must have exceptional problem solving skills, strong business judgment, and demonstrated experience leading cross-functional teams. We are looking for a proven ability to execute both strategically and tactically, and someone who is excited to take on new, ambiguous projects that will be industry defining. This position requires a solid technical background, and the candidate should be customer-focused with a passion for the cloud and information technology. Given this role focuses on bringing existing workloads to Aurora, we welcome candidates with past experience in databases.
