AWS Lambda's goal is nothing less than to simplify and improve the experience of computing in the cloud for every developer on the planet, from start-ups to the largest Fortune 100 companies. Serverless computing is rapidly changing how every company thinks about building and delivering software solutions, and Lambda is leading this industry-wide effort.
Our Team
AWS Lambda is growing its initiatives in Dublin, Ireland, with goals of continuing to define the Serverless revolution. Lambda teams in Dublin are part of the lambda experience charter with a mission to simplify the developer, operator, and administrator tasks in bringing code from desktop-development to a production service. If you're excited by Serverless computing, programming languages, and container/function interaction models, this role is for you. Join us and change how the world computes by enabling new frameworks that allow customers to build better software on top of AWS.
Lambda Experience Runtimes is one of the most customer-visible and developer-commented upon areas of Lambda. The Language Runtimes team is responsible for the curation, patching, and deprecation of all the six Managed Runtimes that Lambda supports, such as Python, NodeJS, Java, Ruby, Go, DotNet, in addition to the custom runtime plus the associated lambda container images.
An ideal candidate has experience delivering new initiatives and is comfortable working closely with customers. You should be aware of industry best practices & patterns in all aspects of building, releasing & verifying software. You should also be familiar with industry trends in programming languages, build tooling, and deployment spaces. You will own and help drive exciting new and existing initiatives in Lambda while being capable of working on massive scale, high availability, and ambiguous performance problems as well as developer experience problems. This role will involve identifying and solving problems in different programming language ecosystems, enabling new customer-facing functionality, and new programming paradigms in the Serverless ecosystem.
What does it take to succeed in this role?
A roll-up-your-sleeves type. Comfortable working in an environment dedicated to meeting the expectations and requirements of customers. Able to think about business opportunities, operational issues, and architectural diagrams in the course of a single conversation. Intellectually curious, always looking to learn, and a dedication to turning developers into fans. Someone who makes the team both productive and a fun place to work. Being excited to learn from others while bringing your own novel capabilities and perspectives.
On-Call Responsibility
This position involves on-call responsibilities; every builder on Lambda is also an owner. Nobody likes to get paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are well-engineered, fault-tolerant, and meet a high quality bar before they go into production. Our customers expect nothing less. When we do get paged, we work together as a team to resolve the root cause of the issue, and nobody is left on their own to deal with an operational issue.
