Overview

Description:

Come build the future of data streaming with the Amazon Managed Streaming for Kafka (MSK) team! We are seeking builders for our Amazon MSK service, a fully managed service that makes it easy for customers to build and run applications that use Apache Kafka to process streaming data.

Upstream compatibility is a core tenet of MSK. Your code changes to the Kafka platform will be released back to open source.

You will design and build new features, make performance improvements, identify and investigate new technologies, prototype solutions, build scalable services, and test and review changes to deliver an exceptional customer experience.

• You recruit and grow technical staff.
• You own the software development lifecycle and operational metrics for the service.
• You partner with product managers to define and execute the product roadmap.
• You contribute to open source and present at community events.
