Software Dev Engineer , AWS EKS

Position: Software Dev Engineer 2, AWS EKS
Description

Amazon Web Services is looking for Software Development Engineers to join our growing

Amazon Elastic Container Services for Kubernetes (EKS) team. Amazon EKS is our managed

Kubernetes service that makes it easy for customers to use Kubernetes without needing to

become experts in provisioning and operating Kubernetes. EKS manages time-consuming

administrative tasks like setting up, operating, scaling and updating Kubernetes freeing

customers up to focus on their applications.

EKS Fargate team provides customers capability to run their Kubernetes workloads/pods without

having to worry about underlying infrastructure. EKS Fargate has a unique growth opportunity

given the cross-cutting nature of its technological stack, from managing multi-tenant large scale

APIs that take customer requests to setting up single-tenant infrastructure/networking for every

customer workload. Customers put their trust in EKS Fargate to completely manage their

workloads and we have to get creative in finding the best ways to keep it available and secure for

our customers.

You will be solving challenging technical problems, often ones not solved before, alongside with

peers with remarkable technical expertise. The solutions you build will be high impact and rolled

out to our large customer base across the world. If you are excited to work in a dynamic

environment, we would love to hear from you!

Inclusive Team Culture

Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of

inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190

chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and host annual and ongoing learning

experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and Amaze Con (gender

diversity) conferences. Amazon's culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 14 Leadership

Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and

earn trust.

Work/Life Balance

Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isn't about how many hours you spend at

home or at work; it's about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life.

We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to

life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to

find your own balance between your work and personal lives.

This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months. We

don't like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that

our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause

so that we don't get paged for the same issue twice.

Mentorship & Career Growth

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels

and tenures, and we're building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and

mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code

reviews. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help

each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more

complex tasks in the future.

About the team

This is a unique opportunity within AWS to work on an open-source project - Karpenter, a node autoscaler for Kubernetes.
