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 AmazeCon (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

EKS customers to solve real-world scaling challenges.
