Software Development Engineer III, AWS Sagemaker Lakehouse Catalog Job ID: 3206211 | Services LLC Be part of a team which is passionate about solving real world data management and governance challenges. Come build large scale distributed systems that are central to the next generation of analytics in the cloud. AWS Lake Formation is a service that helps build and secure data lakes in a simple, scalable, server‑less architecture. We are looking for software engineers to join our growing team! Key Job Responsibilities Solve unique and first‑order problems in areas of Big Data, Distributed Systems, and Server‑less data processing. Influence and build products that will leverage scale of resources to orchestrate data management and governance. Be catalyst to deliver a truly disruptive product while still early enough to have impact and influence. Translate functional and technical requirements into detailed architecture, design and extensible code. Be an advocate of industry best‑practices to produce reliable, fault‑tolerant and dependable code. Code and test complex system modules; develop and leverage frameworks to be effective and efficient. Participate in architecture, design and code reviews to maintain our high development standards. Mentor other engineers, defining our challenging technical culture, and helping to build a fast‑growing team. A Day in the Life Morning coffee in hand, you dive into Slack to catch up on overnight discussions. By mid‑morning, you’re deep in code, building features that help customers wrangle petabytes of data without breaking a sweat; you might be designing a new orchestration framework, squashing a gnarly concurrency bug, or whiteboarding with teammates to architect a solution that scales elegantly from startup to enterprise. After lunch, you join a design review where ideas fly freely. You collaborate with partner teams across AWS (think Glue, S3, Athena) to ensure Lake Formation plays nicely in the broader analytics ecosystem. During on‑call, you hop on a call with a customer or solutions architect to understand a real‑world data governance challenge. These conversations fuel your work; you’re not just writing code, you’re solving problems that help organizations unlock the value of their data securely and at scale. Before wrapping up, you spend time mentoring a newer engineer, reviewing code, or spiking on a crazy idea that might just work. You close your laptop knowing you’ve built something meaningful.
