Find your next role

Description

The mission of Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) is to simplify the deployment, management, and scaling of Kubernetes applications in the cloud or on-premises. We're growing the organization to keep pace with EKS's rapid adoption, and this role leads one of the teams responsible for the infrastructure that keeps EKS running reliably for customers at scale.

You'll own the services customers depend on every day to manage their EKS clusters at scale. And you'll build the next generation of multi-cluster capabilities that make operating hundreds of clusters feel simple.

What You'll Own
You'll lead a team that owns three things. First, the foundational services that power EKS APIs. These are mature, critical systems you'll evolve as EKS launches new capabilities. Second, the availability and resiliency of the management plane itself: health monitoring, automated recovery, safe deployments, and fault isolation that keep customers unaffected when things go wrong. Third, multi cluster management at scale, making it straightforward for customers to orchestrate upgrades and manage lifecycle operations across their entire fleet.

What You'll Solve
The problems here are real and unsolved. How do you keep a management plane available at industry leading levels while shipping features weekly? How do you make fleet wide upgrades across thousands of clusters safe and simple? How do you evolve billing and metering systems to support new pricing models without breaking existing customers? You'll define the roadmap, make the trade offs, and deliver.

What You'll Do
You'll define product and technical direction, partner with adjacent teams to coordinate architecture and feature delivery, and own operational posture end to end: on call, incident response, and availability metrics. You'll build and grow a high performing team with a culture of ownership and operational rigor.

About You
You've led teams that own high availability distributed systems. You're technically strong and comfortable in production incidents, system design, and architecture trade offs. You care about how customers experience reliability, not just uptime numbers, but what happens when things break. You can take ambiguous problem spaces and turn them into clear roadmaps. You build teams people want to join.

Experience with Kubernetes or container orchestration is a plus, not a requirement.

Why This Role
EKS is one of AWS's fastest growing services. The management plane is its backbone, and as we scale to millions of clusters, it needs to be reliable, simple to operate at fleet scale, and continuously improving. You'll be at the center of that.
