SQL developer jobs in Ireland

Are you excited by the prospect of solving some of the hardest and most valued technical challenges of cloud computing? Do you want to apply your deep analytical and engineering skills to the space of highly-available replicated databases? Come join us in Amazon RDS and help us innovate!

The AWS Relational Database Service (RDS) is one of the largest cloud database businesses, providing super-simple provisioning and management for 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 handled in an automated fashion by our control systems. Providing such simplified management for customers comes with the challenge of building sophisticated and reliable control systems. The systems we build manage huge numbers of databases and vast amounts of storage across multiple datacenters world-wide, and our service is growing rapidly, requiring constant innovations in our systems in order to handle the next order of magnitude in service scale.

We’re looking for a Software Development Engineer to join us and take ownership of significant features and components end-to-end. You’ll work on distributed systems that operate at scale across every AWS region from Active Directory and Kerberos authentication improvements, to third-party integrations, to tooling that helps customers manage their workload in our managed service. You will own the design and delivery of complex components, work independently through ambiguity, and help raise the technical bar for the team through design and code reviews and mentorship of junior engineers.

AWS Utility Computing (UC) which 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. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

Key job responsibilities

• Own and Lead design discussions, making sound trade-offs across performance, security, reliability, and maintainability.
• Work on third party integrations and security capabilities.
• Troubleshoot production issues and drive both immediate fixes and long-term corrective actions.
• Mentor junior engineers, participate in design and code reviews, and contribute to team-wide engineering standards.
• Collaborate with product managers, partner teams, and stakeholders to translate customer needs into technical deliverables.

A day in the life
As you design and code solutions to help our team drive efficiencies in software architecture, you’ll create metrics, implement automation and other improvements, and resolve the root cause of software defects. You’ll also:

• Build high-impact solutions to deliver to our large customer base.
• Participate in design discussions, code review, and communicate with internal and external stakeholders.
• Work cross-functionally to help drive business decisions with your technical input.
• Work in a startup-like development environment, where you’re always working on the most important stuff.

About the team
We are the Dublin based team for RDS SQL Server, a close-knit group of engineers who care deeply about building secure, reliable database management technology that customers trust with their most critical workloads. Our work spans vendor integrations, security and authentication, multi-region expansion, and migration tooling, so no two problems look quite the same.

We value ownership, curiosity, and a bias for action. Whether it’s deepening your database internals expertise, working across AWS service teams, or driving a feature from design to global rollout, you’ll find room to grow here and a team that has your back.
