As a software engineer in Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), you will be solving unique distributed computing and automation challenges prevalent in our network. The software services have unprecedented scale and availability requirements. You will lead the software development of large-scale distributed software systems; in Java, Python, Golang and other languages using open source technologies, and Amazon proprietary technologies. This includes software applications dealing with configuration, modeling, workflows, large scale simulation, automation, fault tolerance, capacity planning, disaster recovery and prevention. You will get to work on brand new software products and distributed applications that deploy changes to thousands of nodes every day flawlessly without requiring human supervision. As a member of the EKS Networking team, you will get to actively contribute to open source projects such as AWS VPC CNI, eBPF based network policy, AWS load balancer controller and work on next generation eBPF based network observability and telemetry.
