With EKS Add-ons, our customers are able to focus on their core business while taking full advantage of the rich Kubernetes ecosystem in an efficient and productive way.
This is an opportunity to operate and engineer systems at scale. You will be solving challenging technical problems, often ones not solved before, alongside peers with remarkable expertise. A key part of your role will be collaborating with and influencing other AWS service teams to provide integrations for Kubernetes customers.
