Responsibilities The work centres on control-plane scaling and on setting a high bar for how the team builds and runs software. Duties cover design leadership, cross-team decisions, operational standards and mentoring.
Own the architecture and implementation of control-plane-scaling systems that keep VPC Lattice rapid, consistent and reliable as the fleet grows by orders of magnitude.
Lead the design of ambiguous, large-scale problems from a loosely defined goal to a sequence of shippable milestones, with the tradeoffs documented.
Drive technical decisions across team and service boundaries, building alignment with partner teams in EC2 Networking, PrivateLink and the broader UC organization.
Set and enforce the bar for operational excellence : observability, failure isolation, safe deployment, and evolving the data path without disrupting live customer traffic.
Remove whole classes of operational and scaling risk instead of fixing one-off defects, and leave the team's software measurably better and easier to maintain.
Mentor and grow engineers on the team by raising the quality of designs and reviews and developing their judgment on distributed-systems tradeoffs.
Invent on customers' behalf , turning high-demand internal and external requirements into durable, well-engineered capabilities.
