About The Role

As a Software Development Engineer III on the RDS for Oracle team, you will own the design and implementation of complex features that scale to millions of database instances. You will work on the full stack—from kernel-level optimizations and storage architecture to customer-facing APIs and operational tooling. Your work directly impacts how enterprises run their most critical databases on AWS.

Key Responsibilities

You will lead the architecture and design of large-scale, distributed database systems using RDS Oracle in AWS cloud environments. This includes optimizing performance for high-availability and scalability, developing solutions that integrate Linux-based RDS Oracle with AWS infrastructure, and designing integrations between Oracle and other AWS services such as EC2, VPC, and IAM.

You will serve as a technical lead for enterprise-level database services, addressing complex customer requirements and concerns. You will collaborate with account managers and solution architects to design and implement database solutions that meet specific enterprise needs. You will engage directly with customers to gather requirements, provide technical consultations, and support complex implementations, translating customer needs into technical specifications and product roadmap items.

You will lead agile development cycles to quickly prototype, develop, and deploy new database features and improvements. You will balance speed of delivery with code quality, security, and scalability requirements. You will stay abreast of competitor offerings and contribute to product strategy by proposing and implementing innovative features to maintain AWS's competitive edge in the database services market.

You will develop and implement strategies for managing database performance at massive scale, supporting thousands of concurrent customers. This includes creating advanced monitoring and troubleshooting tools for large-scale database deployments and designing sophisticated automation systems for database management tasks. You will integrate AI and ML technologies to enhance database performance, security, and ease of use.

You will ensure all database solutions meet required security standards and compliance regulations such as FedRAMP, GDPR, and HIPAA. You will develop and implement security best practices for database management in cloud environments.

You will provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior team members, conduct design reviews, and offer feedback on architecture, performance, and scalability issues. You will create comprehensive technical documentation for internal teams and customers, including best practices guides, whitepapers, and other educational materials related to RDS Oracle on AWS.
