**DESCRIPTION**
---------------
The AWS Serverless Storage team is seeking an exceptional software engineer to help develop a distributed in\-memory data store for high\-throughput, high\-volume data processing in big data analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads.
Serverless Storage is an innovative platform designed to solve unique challenges in data exchange, processing, and handling for large\-volume datasets. As an engineer on the Serverless Storage team, you will be responsible for building core features of an in\-memory data store, leveraging the Rust programming language's advanced memory safety and concurrency capabilities. Your role will involve developing efficient, scalable data persistent APIs that can adapt to various use cases. You will contribute to foundational protocols and communication mechanisms that enable seamless data sharing across distributed systems. Performance optimization will be a critical aspect of your work, requiring you to continuously improve CPU, memory, and disk utilization at the node level.
On the Serverless Storage platform control side, you will build and maintain high\-throughput, high\-availability microservices to manage and control the cluster lifecycle. Your system will efficiently manage cluster deployments on EC2/ECS/EKS, with the ability to dynamically scale services and safely roll out software updates.
We are seeking a self\-motivated individual who is passionate about learning new technologies and can adapt to a fast\-paced development environment. Our goal is to build a strong engineering team characterized by exceptional collaboration and communication. We expect strong ownership, the ability to work independently, and consistent delivery of results. You should be comfortable communicating effectively with peers, management, and stakeholders about projects and assignments.
