AWS Lambda is a serverless compute service that lets customers run code without provisioning or managing servers. As part of the AWS Lambda team in Dublin, you'll work on one of the fastest-growing services in AWS, processing trillions of invocations monthly for millions of customers worldwide.
We're seeking an experienced Software Developer to join our Dublin-based team working on AWS Lambda Control Plane Team. AWS Lambda Control Plane is responsible for the customer-facing API surface and resource lifecycle management for one of AWS's highest-scale services. The organization owns three charters:
CP Platform - Frontend API hosting for public-facing APIs, covering authentication, quotas, tags, resource policies, CloudTrail, and federated request routing
Function Control Plane (FCP) - CRUD APIs for Lambda Functions, Versions, and Aliases; CloudFormation integration; and resource lifecycle management
Function Lifecycle Management - Function activation workflows, metadata propagation to data plane (SanDOS), and resource state management
We operate at massive scale across all AWS regions and partitions, with a strong emphasis on availability, security, and operational excellence.
We're looking for a Software Development Engineer to design, build, and operate distributed systems that power AWS Lambda's control plane. You'll work on customer-facing APIs, asynchronous lifecycle workflows, and metadata propagation systems that serve millions of Lambda functions globally. This role offers the opportunity to solve complex challenges at scale and deliver best in class serverless customer experience.
About the team
As a team, we are dedicated to making new team members feel welcome and included. We strive to grow each other through task assignments, mentorship, and trainings. As an Amazonian, you'll work with some of the most talented engineers in our industry. We believe in attracting, developing and retaining talent from diverse backgrounds. We value different perspectives and looking for team players who are working effectively with teams of diverse peers.
