We are looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, curious, empathic, motivated, reliable, with a good sense of ownership, and a drive to invent. In this role, you will work on Firecracker [1], an open source virtualization technology that is purpose-built for creating and managing secure, multi-tenant container and function-based services that provide serverless operational models. Firecracker is deployed globally as part of AWS Lambda [2], Aurora D-SQL, and other AWS Services. Firecracker is also integrated by 10+ teams beyond AWS as part of their platforms [3]. Firecracker has an ambitious multi-year roadmap of tackling impactful and interesting opportunities in the quickly expanding ephemeral compute space - come help us make history!
