Hi, we are searching for C++ engineers for our team in Berlin that builds Amazon Redshift, our cloud warehouse service. AWS is quite a unique place to work for, especially if you are passionate about working on really large scale applications. It is also a great place to learn and grow, given the experienced colleagues on the team and the work environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. We do have various positions open at all levels and I will paste the job description of an entry-level position below as a reference. We do have open positions for experienced/senior engineers and managers as well. Please reach out at the given email address in case you want to apply or have any questions. You will directly talk to the hiring manager. 

DESCRIPTION

Amazon Redshift is a rapidly growing, fast and powerful, fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud. It enables our customers to dramatically increase their performance when analyzing data sets of virtually any size using the same SQL-based business intelligence tools they use today. They can launch a fully operational service with a few clicks for as low as under $1000 per terabyte per year.
Amazon Redshift is the fastest and most widely used cloud data warehouse, yet we are constantly improving our service based on our customers’ needs across all areas of the service. This job opportunity is for the team that owns the storage layer of Amazon Redshift which spans from memory, to local storage, to cloud object storage (Amazon S3) and encompasses all the data life cycle operations (i.e., commit, caching, prefetching, snapshot/restore, replication, and disaster-recovery). What makes this offering truly unique is the scale at which the Amazon Redshift service is operating - your contributions can instantly improve the service for all our customers, ranging from startups to the biggest companies in the world.

We are looking for hands-on developers with expertise and passion for building large scale distributed systems. We are looking for individuals that want to have a lasting impact on our product and team and that share our working style as codified in our leadership principles (https://www.amazon.jobs/en/principles).

Joining the Amazon Redshift team gives you the opportunity to:
· Work on a disruptive product that’s still in its early stages
· Solve challenging problems that will revolutionize computing in the cloud
· Build a product that will leverage the scale of resources available in the cloud
· Work for a company that’s a recognized leader in the cloud computing space
· Be involved in the fast growing, big data space

In this role, you will have responsibility for:
· Translating functional and technical requirements into detailed architecture and design
· Coding and testing complex system components
· Participating in code and design reviews to maintain our high development standards
· Working with other teams to deliver and operate large scale, distributed services in the cloud
· Overall system architecture, scalability, reliability, and performance


At Amazon, we strive to create an environment that makes every team member feel welcome and valued and enables everyone to perform at their best. This includes:
