Description
We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to join the EKS KCP Scalability team and work on some of the hardest distributed systems problems at Amazon. You will design, build, and operate systems that directly determine whether EKS customers — from startups to the largest AI/ML workloads on the planet — experience a reliable, performant control plane.

You will work across the full stack: from the Kubernetes API server process and upstream community engagement, through autoscaling services that right-size control planes in real time, to the SLA measurement pipelines that hold us accountable to our customers. You will own systems end-to-end — from design through production operations — and your work will be measured by customer outcomes, not lines of code.
