Job Description

DESCRIPTION

The AWS Container Services organization is responsible for building and operating some of the core services that help customers run containerized microservices, including Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, AWS Fargate, Amazon ECR, and AWS App Mesh. We have an ambitious road-map that seeks to redefine how our customers build their applications and run them at scale. Fargate is one of our biggest areas of investment. Here, we seek to let developers take full-advantage of the speed, agility, and immutability that containers offer so they can focus on building applications rather than managing infrastructure.

Fargate is growing fast and we are expanding our team to help build additional features for our customers. This is a great time to join a growing team and help influence what we can do for customers who are adopting serverless containers and all the benefits Fargate brings them.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineering Leader to head up the Fargate Control Plane teams. These teams are responsible for placement, provisioning, and scale for Fargate, working closely with the other Fargate teams as well as the Batch, ECS, and EKS teams. This is an area where we have a lot of innovation planned for 2021.

If you are someone who is interesting in building high performance software, passionate about freeing developers to focus on building applications instead of managing infrastructure, and looking to help grow a team, this job is for you. Youll be leading a growing team of passionate engineers with a charter to make Fargate the best serverless compute primitive for containers.

If you join our team, you will:
Obsess over your customers and deliver a first-class experience for them
Work closely with customers and our Product Managers to drive innovation
Build a diverse team of highly passionate and talented technologists
Own the complete software development life cycle: definition to delivery
Build, grow, and operate a global AWS business at scale
Operate a public AWS service with globally distributed customers
Take ownership of ambiguous problems and deliver solutions for them
Use data to make decisions and validate assumptions
Learn from others and help grow those in your team to achieve their best
