Job Description
Join our dynamic team and become a pivotal architect of Amazon's critical data infrastructure! You'll play a transformative role in enabling business services to operate flexibly across regions, dramatically improving system resilience and customer experience. Your innovative solutions will help break traditional regional constraints, reducing potential service disruptions and enhancing computational efficiency.
Transactional Data Movement, a part of Transactional Storage and Configuration (TSC) organization, is a service empowering Amazon Stores, Devices, and other businesses (SDO) to replicate, synchronize, and transfer data across DynamoDB and Sable storage solutions and regions. Its primary objectives are to enable the safe movement of transactional data, reduce builder effort for data movement, and bolster region flexibility, which are all critical for advancing the next generation of data-driven services. The Transactional Data Movement (TDM), via Globemaster and Hotwire sub-services, provides zero-downtime global data migration and replication for Sable and DynamoDB datasets. The Managed Migration eXperience (M2X), a control plane service coupled with a data analytics platform (M2X Analytics), provides service owners the ability to programmatically coordinate data migrations and traffic routing across teams, applications, and datasets.
These tools are/will be used to migrate, replicate, or recreate more than 1M Sable and DynamoDB tables. These tables represent >260M transactions per second at peak and >30PB of data used by >10,000 applications. Additionally, they will move millions of active S3 buckets, representing an additional 2EB+ of data as part of “Region Flexibility” and “Diversify AWS Region Usage (DARU)” programs by 2029.
