Senior Software Development Engineer - Amazon MSK, Managed Streaming Kafka

Come build the future of data streaming with the Amazon Managed Streaming for Kafka (MSK) team! We are seeking builders for our Amazon MSK service, a fully managed service that makes it easy for customers to build and run applications that use Apache Kafka to process streaming data.

As a member of the Amazon MSK team, you will be making contributions to the entire stack - the APIs and workflows that make up the MSK service, the core Kafka platform, and stand-alone tools that make it easier for the Kafka community to operate Kafka better. This is a unique opportunity to work on a team that straddles both worlds – open source and Amazon-internal software.

You'll be working on a service that supports millions of transactions per second, solving complex software problems that require strong analytical and design skills. The role involves working with streaming data technologies and contributing to both proprietary and open-source software development.

The position offers:

• Opportunity to work on large-scale distributed systems
• Chance to contribute to open source projects
• Experience with industry-leading streaming platforms
• Collaboration with talented engineers and senior leaders
• Impact on AWS's core infrastructure services
• Work on customer-facing features and improvements

Amazon MSK is a critical service used by major companies like Goldman Sachs, New Relic, Coinbase, and Rivian for their streaming data needs. You'll be part of a team that's shaping the future of data streaming technology while solving real customer problems at AWS scale.

The role combines deep technical expertise with leadership opportunities, making it ideal for senior engineers who want to make a significant impact in both open source and enterprise software development. You'll be working in AWS's Utility Computing organization, which is responsible for foundational services that power Amazon's cloud infrastructure.
