Distributed systems such as Kinesis, S3, and DynamoDB need to durably and correctly commit customer writes at high scale and with high availability. For this, many such systems use Journal. Journal is a fault tolerant, high performance, durable log service. It offers an elegant solution to a complex, distributed systems problem. The challenges in building such a system stem with right durability, availability, resiliency, performance (microseconds matter), and scale (we commit in excess of 100 million transactions per second) at low cost.

We are seeking a technical leader to join the Journal team, which owns the control plane scaling, automation infrastructure, and heat management systems that ensure Journal's reliability at massive scale (100M+ TPS). You'll architect solutions that intelligently distribute load, automate capacity decisions, and prevent thermal hotspots across our global fleet. Your responsibilities will include:

* Designing and developing novel, cutting edge, highly available, distributed systems software.

* Delivering quality features on-time and on-budget and executing against project plans and delivery commitments.

* Working with team members to manage day-to-day development activities, participating in designs, design reviews, code reviews, and implementation.

* Mentoring other engineers.

* Maintaining current technical knowledge to support rapidly changing technology, always being on the lookout for new technologies, and working with the team to bring in new technologies.

Candidate must be able to work with a minimum of technical supervision and supplemental engineering support, while responding efficiently to multiple program priorities. In addition, the role involves analyzing the latest technologies and development trends, establishing and implementing standard practices.

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.
