## Job description

Amazon Aurora DSQL is a serverless, distributed SQL database with virtually unlimited scale, highest availability, and zero infrastructure management. Aurora DSQL provides active-active high availability, providing strong data consistency designed for 99.99% single-Region and 99.999% multi-Region availability. Aurora DSQL automatically manages and scales system resources, so you don't have to worry about maintenance downtime and provisioning, patching, or upgrading infrastructure.

As a Principal Database Engineer for Aurora DSQL, you will lead technical enablement for our most strategic and business-critical customers. You will solve complex migration and query performance problems while helping customers transition from traditional databases to distributed, multi-region architectures. You will be responsible for working with engineers and customers to define best practices for Aurora DSQL adoption and integration.

You will influence product direction by channeling customer feedback and technical insights directly to engineering teams, shaping features used by some of the world's largest companies. You will also work with our field teams to scale knowledge and drive broader DSQL adoption across the customer base.
