Software Development Engineer II, AWS Catalog

Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides companies of all sizes with an infrastructure web services platform in the cloud. With AWS, you can requisition compute power, storage, and other services – paying as you go for only the resources you need. Within AWS, our Catalog solutions span Glue Data Catalog, Lake Formation, and DataZone. We offer customers a comprehensive inventory of an organization's assets, enrich this view through metadata, and provide data discovery, governance, trust, and query routing functionality. Catalogs are at the forefront of modern Analytics, acting as the bridge between the consumption layer and data services. They effectively enable Engines to query information and allow humans and AI to find semantic meaning in data. Our suite of Catalog services make it easy to set up a secure data lake in days. A data lake is a centralized, curated, and secured repository that stores all your data, both in its original form and prepared for analysis. A data lake enables you to break down data silos and combine different types of analytics to gain insights and guide better business decisions.

• Work on a disruptive product that’s still in its early stages
• Solve challenging problems that will revolutionize database computing in the cloud
