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.

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) 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.

Key job responsibilities
• Collaborate with experienced cross-disciplinary Amazonians to conceive, design, and bring innovative products and services to market.
• Design and build innovative technologies in a large distributed computing environment and help lead fundamental changes in the industry.
• Design and code the right solutions starting with broadly defined problems.
• Work in an agile environment to deliver high-quality software.

A day in the life
The challenges SDEs solve for at Amazon are big and influence millions of customers, sellers, and products around the world. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about creating new products, features, and services from scratch while managing ambiguity and the pace of a company where development cycles are measured in weeks, not years.

About the team
This is a unique opportunity within AWS to work on an open-source project — Karpenter, a node autoscaler for Kubernetes. We actively participate in Kubernetes working groups and collaborate across companies. We attend and present at KubeCon (Kubernetes conference), and work closely with EKS customers to solve real-world scaling challenges.
