About the role
Ever wonder what happens when S3 processes a PUT request, when EC2 launches a new instance, when DynamoDB commits a write with single-digit millisecond latency, or when Kinesis Data Streams ingests a new record? Behind the scenes, a distributed log service is making it all possible — and you'd be building it. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

The AlfBus Journal organization builds foundational distributed systems that power the largest AWS services. We specialize in high-performance, strongly consistent data systems that operate at scale. Our systems process over 4 million writes per second today and are growing fast. When we ship, the blast radius is AWS itself.
We have a multi-year roadmap packed with hard, unsolved problems: building next-generation data export services, driving large-scale migrations that will reshape Amazon's storage infrastructure, and pushing the boundaries of durability, availability, and performance in distributed log systems. This isn't incremental work — it's foundational.
As an SDE-II, you'll own systems end-to-end: from requirements and design through implementation, deployment, and production support. You'll work alongside multiple Senior and Principal Engineers on a tight-knit team...
