Senior Software Engineer, AWS Redshift

Job ID : 2641374 Amazon Web Services, Inc.

Amazon Redshift is a rapidly growing, fast and powerful, fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service in the cloud.

It enables customers to dramatically increase their query performance when analyzing data sets of virtually any size using the same SQL-based business intelligence tools they use today.

They can launch a fully operational service with a few clicks for as low as under $1000 per terabyte per year. Amazon Redshift manages all the work needed to set up, operate, and scale a data warehouse, from provisioning capacity and installing software to monitoring and backing up the cluster, to applying patches and upgrades.

By automating these labor-intensive tasks, Amazon Redshift enables customers to spend their time focusing on their data and business insights, rather than on procuring and managing infrastructure.
