EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) is hiring talented SDEs!

The unique benefit of joining this team is that engineers will get to learn both Amazonian way of building highly scalable services as well as how other companies in the industry solve technical challenges with open-sourced solutions.

etcd is a world-famous, open-sourced, distributed key-value store. It is the backend data store for Kubernetes. EKS etcd team is part of EKS, a managed service for running Kubernetes in AWS, which is now the de facto platform for hosting state-of-the-art LLM models in AWS and our customers include top Generative AI model providers, i.e. Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock and Alexa.

The missions of EKS etcd team are as follows:

1. Manage and operate hundreds of thousands of etcd clusters globally. This is an opportunity to operate and engineer systems on a massive scale, and to gain top-notch experience in cloud computing.
2. Drive the open source community to fit the needs of AWS. We’ll work together with engineers from other top tech companies like Google, VMware and ByteDance, to push beyond the current performance limit to the next level.

Our team owns components for control plane workflow, a node agent written in Golang to monitor and operate etcd, as well as the open-sourced etcd server itself. You will always find an interesting domain to work on.

We will RELY ON YOU to help define our strategy and lay the foundations for all of our future roadmap. We value engineers who take initiative and demonstrate ownership over the systems they work on.
