In addition to our core compute and runtime charter, this team is at the forefront of running AI/ML and inference workloads on Kubernetes. We ship EKS-optimized AMIs with dual NVIDIA driver support so the newest GPU instance families are ready out of the box without separate per-driver AMIs or slower boot times; we're building a hardware-isolated pod runtime that gives each pod strong isolation on shared nodes to unlock secure multi-tenant and emerging agentic AI use cases; we're accelerating fast model loading to cut cold-start and scale-up latency for large models on GPUs; and we continuously advance GPU and node health monitoring in the EKS Node Monitoring Agent, classifying GPU and fabric faults and detecting failing hardware, so large inference fleets stay healthy and nodes aren't needlessly replaced. It's an exciting opportunity to shape how AWS customers run the next generation of AI/ML workloads at massive scale.
The ideal candidate will be passionate about the potential of cloud computing, and about building simple and elegant software solutions and customer-centric products. This leader has thrived and succeeded in delivering high quality technology products/services in a hyper-growth environment where priorities shift quickly. The candidate is a leader who can prioritize well, communicate clearly and compellingly and who understands how to drive a high level of focus and excellence with a strong team. AWS in general, and this business in particular, operates at very large scale and on critical workloads, so a passion and discipline around operational excellence is key. A high level of ownership and accountability is a must.
