Applied Scientist II, AWS DynamoDB

Description
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database that serves more than 1 million customers and delivers single-digit millisecond performance at any scale. It supports individual tables over 200TB and sustains over half a million requests per second for hundreds of customers, with up to 99.999% availability. Behind that scale sits a large fleet of capacity that must be placed and balanced continuously. We are looking for an Applied Scientist to advance the science of capacity utilization and data placement across the DynamoDB fleet.

You will work backwards from customer experience and fleet economics to find where capacity is used inefficiently, where scaling bottlenecks constrain the service, and where smarter data placement can raise utilization without degrading latency or availability.

You will turn these findings into models and algorithms that inform capacity profile decisions and placement policy. You will partner closely with the DynamoDB teams...
