Front End Engineer - Aurora/RDS, RDS Console

Come and change the way our customers interact with relational database solutions at scale!

AWS Aurora/RDS is one of the fastest-growing AWS businesses, providing super-simple provisioning and management for relational databases in the cloud. Customers can set up a new database with just a few clicks, and complex administrative tasks like scaling, fail-over, and monitoring are all handled in an automated fashion by our control systems.


Key job responsibilities
As a front end development engineer in the RDS Console team in Dublin, you will get to design, develop and deploy quality solutions that help external and internal customers interface with the RDS service at scale via graphical interfaces.

Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. Most days, our team is co-located in the Dublin offices. We generally keep core in-office hours from 10am to 4pm and provide flexibility for people to structure their working hours around them.

The position involves on-call responsibilities, typically once every 4 to 5 weeks. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we prioritise the constant improvement of the operational posture of the solutions we own. When we do get paged, we work together to first mitigate and then resolve the root cause so we don’t get paged for the same issue twice.
