Descrição da oferta de emprego

Description

Are you a builder that lives and breathes PostgreSQL? Have you spent years tuning vacuum behavior, diagnosing lock contention under heavy OLTP workloads, reasoning about query planner decisions, managing replication topologies, and guiding large-scale migrations from commercial engines like Oracle and SQL Server? Are you the person your organization turns to when a Postgres system is misbehaving at 3 AM and when leadership needs a whiteboard session on where the data platform is headed next? As a Specialist Solutions Architect for Aurora PostgreSQL, you will be the technical authority that AWS's largest and most complex customers rely on to architect, migrate, and operate PostgreSQL workloads on Amazon Aurora and Amazon RDS.

• Design and validate Aurora PostgreSQL architectures that leverage Aurora‑specific capabilities including storage auto‑scaling, read replica scaling, Global Database, HA/DR, Serverless, ensuring customers realize the full value of the platform.
• Partner with the Aurora service team as the voice of the customer, surfacing recurring pain points, advocating for feature enhancements, and participating in roadmap reviews.
• Engage with customer engineers in whiteboard sessions, architecture reviews, and technical deep dives, providing candid guidance and pushing back diplomatically when a proposed design will not hold up at scale.
• Develop and publish technical thought leadership content including blogs, reference architectures, white papers, and re‑usable artifacts, that elevate the broader PostgreSQL community on AWS.
• Advise customers on complex database migrations (Oracle, SQL Server, and other engines to Aurora PostgreSQL).
• Present at key industry events including AWS re:Invent, AWS Summits, PostgreSQL community conferences (PGConf, PGDay), and customer‑facing workshops.
• Stay current with PostgreSQL community developments (new major versions, extensions ecosystem, community tooling) and translate those advancements into actionable guidance for AWS customers.
