Amazon is seeking a Software Development Engineer II to help build and improve DynamoDB, a highly available, scalable NoSQL database service. The role typically requires a degree in computer science or equivalent experience, strong programming ability in languages such as Java, C++, or similar, and practical knowledge of data structures, algorithms, distributed systems, and software development practices. Experience designing, delivering, testing, and operating reliable production systems is valuable. The successful candidate is expected to take ownership of complex technical problems, write maintainable code, collaborate with engineers and product stakeholders, contribute to design decisions, and work effectively in an agile environment. Experience with cloud services, databases, performance engineering, or large-scale systems would be advantageous.

AWS provides cloud computing, storage, database, analytics, and artificial intelligence services to organisations worldwide; DynamoDB is one of its managed database products. Amazon is known for its customer-focused culture, large-scale engineering challenges, and leadership principles such as ownership, invention, and delivering results. The company employs people across corporate, technology, operations, fulfilment, and research roles in Ireland. Its Irish operations include technology development, AWS-related activities, customer support, finance, and European headquarters functions. Employees generally work in fast-paced, collaborative teams, with strong emphasis on measurable outcomes, technical quality, and continuous improvement.
Ireland offers opportunities in software engineering, cloud computing, cybersecurity, pharmaceuticals, finance, medical technology, and international business, particularly around Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford. The country has a friendly, conversational culture, strong music and sporting traditions, and a generally informal workplace style. Dublin provides the largest technology job market but has high housing costs; other cities may offer a quieter lifestyle and lower rents. Public transport is strongest in Dublin, while a car can be useful elsewhere. EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens can work without an employment permit. Non-EU nationals usually need an employment permit, often a Critical Skills Employment Permit for specialised technology roles, followed by immigration registration. Candidates should secure a written offer, check permit eligibility, budget for accommodation, and arrange healthcare, tax registration, and banking after arrival. Ireland’s weather is mild but changeable, with frequent rain.
