Lambda teams in Dublin are part of lambda experience charter with mission to simplify the developer, operator, and administrator tasks in bringing code from desktop-development to a production service. If you’re excited by Serverless computing, programming languages and container/function interaction models, this role is for you. Join us and change how the world computes by enabling new frameworks that enable customers to build better software on top of AWS.

　　Lambda Experience Runtimes is one of the most customer visible and developer commented upon areas of Lambda. The Language Runtimes team are responsible for the curation, patching and deprecation of all the six Managed Runtimes that Lambda supports such as Python, NodeJS, Java, Ruby, Go, DotNet in addition to the custom runtime plus the associated lambda container images.

You will own and help driving exciting new and existing initiatives in Lambda, while being capable of working on massive scale, high availability, and ambiguous performance problems as well as developer experience problems. This role will involve identifying and solving problems in different programming language ecosystems, enabling new customer facing functionality, and new programming paradigms in the Serverless ecosystem.

　　On-Call Responsibility

　　This position involves on-call responsibilities, every builder on Lambda is also an owner. Nobody likes to get paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are well engineered, fault tolerant and meet a high quality bar before the go into production. Our customers expect nothing less. When we do get paged we work together as a team to resolve the root cause of the issue and nobody is left on their own to deal with an operational issue.
