Key job responsibilities As an L5 SDE on DMR, you will independently own and deliver customer-facing features and services on the Mentat platform and its surrounding data services. You will design in complex, ambiguous spaces, drive alignment across partner teams, own the operational health of what you build, and raise the bar for engineers around you. This is a hands-on senior IC role: you write and review production code, run large-scale distributed systems in production, and set technical direction that others build on. A day in the life A typical day starts with the team standup, where you share progress straight into the task board and unblock anyone who needs it. You spend focused time designing and building a customer-facing feature on Mentat, land code reviews for an SDE-1 and an intern you mentor, and pair with a partner team to onboard a new data source. When your on-call pager fires, you dive deep on a Sev-2, trace it to a root cause in the ingestion path, and ship a fix plus an alarm so it does not recur. In between, you review a design doc for an upcoming data source onboarding, weigh in on a storage retention decision to keep cost within plan, and leave the platform a little more reliable than you found it. Fridays are meeting-free, so you protect that time for deep work. About the team DMR owns and operates the Data Exchange Services for AWS Networking.
