Our team has adopted an open product development roadmap (https://github.com/aws/aws-app-mesh-roadmap/issues) and we are committed to contributing back to open source projects that we benefit from (https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/pull/8862, https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/pull/8526). We have built our services on the same technologies and infrastructure our customers use, AWS Fagate, Lambda, EC2. As we continue to grow our service and customers we will be working to build new integrations, utilize more of AWS and contribute more back to open source.

You will work on improving Envoy and helping create the UX that defines the terms application networking and service mesh. You will be asked to think in terms of features, sacale and security at an global AWS scale.

Work/Life Balance
Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isnt about how many hours you spend at home or at work; its 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 dont 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 dont 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 were building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews.
