Build the next-generation in-memory database services! AWS ElastiCache, a fully‑managed in‑memory data store compatible with Valkey, Redis OSS, and Memcached, enables customers to build data‑intensive apps or boost existing database performance by retrieving data from high throughput and low‑latency in‑memory data stores.
AWS MemoryDB, a Valkey and Redis OSS compatible, durable, in‑memory database service, delivers ultra‑fast performance for modern micro‑services applications.
The AWS In‑Memory Databases team uses ideas from several facets of computer science—data storage, distributed computing, and more—to help customers build low‑latency and fast‑performance NoSQL systems. Our high‑availability and scalable in‑memory distributed services are powered by open source and optimized for sub‑millisecond latency at scale. We are influencing the direction of NoSQL systems throughout the industry—and we want you to be a part of it.
We are seeking motivated, passionate backend engineers to work with in‑memory database technologies including Valkey, Redis OSS and Memcached and make AWS ElastiCache the best place to run these engines. You will use your analytical, design, and problem‑solving skills to build next‑generation technologies in areas of horizontal and vertical scaling, data replication, data sharding and migration algorithms as well as robust authentication and authorization protocols. As part of this role you will work closely with the Valkey OSS community to influence and contribute net new features as well as performance optimizations to open‑source Valkey.
Our team values work‑life balance. Most days, our entire team is co‑located in the Dublin office, but we support occasional remote work if needed. We generally keep core in‑office hours from 10 am to 4 pm and provide flexibility for people to structure their working hours around them.
The role involves daytime on‑call responsibilities, typically once every 2–3 months. We don't like to get paged in the middle of the night or on weekends; so we investigate operational gaps on a weekly basis, proactively root‑cause issues and fix them for good.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
Experience programming with at least one software programming language
Experience designing or architecting (design patterns, reliability and scaling) new and existing systems
Knowledge of system performance, memory management, and parallel computing principles
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations
Experience programming with C, C++ or Rust
