DESCRIPTION
AWS Lambda (https://aws.amazon.com/lambda) is changing the way we think about computing in the cloud. Serverless computing offers customers an exciting new way to create applications, turn business logic and application code into scalable, fault-tolerant production without requiring them to be experts in , deployment technologies, and infrastructure management.
The Event Bridge team in AWS Lambda is making it even easier for developers to build new applications or extend existing using serverless technology, by seamlessly integrating services such as DynamoDB, Kinesis, S3, and SQS as “Lambda Event Sources”. Our growing team in Seattle has an opening for an experienced engineer who can help us extend to other sources to help customers build innovative applications.
Why would you want to join our team?
If you are passionate about solving hard technical problems in the space and want your work to make an immediate impact in the real world, this is the place for you. We solve problems on par with leading academic research for the benefit of customers who celebrate our feature launches on social media, constantly demand new features, and – through adoption – help us to invent new ways to scale our . If going deep to optimize for scale, latency, and resource usage excites you as much as working backwards from the customer to features that not only work, but delight, then join us in making Lambda the most successful compute platform on the planet!
What does it take to succeed in this role?
In addition to meeting the technical qualifications, you need to be creative, responsible, and able to dig deep into emerging technologies. Willing to read research papers, but also move quickly to turn ideas into code that solves customer problems. You should be excited (and a little frightened) by the enormous scale at which we operate. A natural problem solver, who wants to understand business problems, operational issues, and software architecture, and how all three connect. Curious about our customers’ needs and dedicated to turning developers into raving fans. Excited to learn from others while bringing your own novel capabilities and
perspectives. Someone who makes the team room both productive and fun to work in.
If this is you, come help us and work with industry leaders to tackle exciting large-scale problems in a quickly evolving environment that is defining the future of software architecture.
Lambda is seeing an adoption rate on par with when AWS launched EC2. It’s exciting times with a lot of room to grow.
