About The Position
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. This role leads one of the teams responsible for the infrastructure that keeps EKS running reliably for customers at scale.

You'll define the roadmap, make the trade offs, and deliver.
