What the job involves
- As a Software Engineer in the Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) team working on EKS Anywhere, you will help us deliver the mission of helping customers run containers successfully anywhere
- At Amazon EKS, we are building a core set of functionality that allows our customers to create and use Kubernetes at scale in their data centers or on AWS
- You will be part of an exceptional team moving the needle towards making containers as the next generation compute platform everywhere
- This is an opportunity engineer systems on a massive scale, and to gain top-notch experience in distributed systems and cloud computing

Our take
Amazon is the world's largest online retailer, and is well-known for its disruption of well-established industries. The company is present in numerous verticals, including cloud computing with Amazon Web Services, AI with its range of Alexa devices and a global marketplace more commonly referred to as 'the everything store'. Acquisitions include Ring, Twitch, Whole Foods Market, and IMDb.
More recently, Amazon has been focused on leading the "third wave in digital advertising". Many businesses are now shifting ad dollars to retailers, which before would have been spent with online media platforms. Amazon's seen great success in the space, with its revenue from advertising now higher than its Amazon Prime membership scheme, audiobooks and digital music combined. This growth is particularly impressive considering its digital ad rivals (like Snap, Alphabet, and Meta) have suffered declines due to wider macroeconomic factors and Apple's iOS privacy changes.
Despite its dominant market position, Amazon will continue to be challenged over the next decade, including sustaining AWS's cloud dominance in the face of Google and Microsoft. On top of this, the company's e-commerce division is facing profitability problems despite its 2023 post-IPO debt funding of 8 billion. It will need to find new ways to stay above their competitors.
