Original job description

Content provided by the employer

Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) is looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer (SDE) to help build and extend our container registry. ECR is at the heart of most containerized applications and workflows that run on AWS, so it has to be fast, scalable, and secure. As more companies switch to containers to improve their speed of delivery, they look to ECR for easy-to-use tools, and we continue to grow the ecosystem of SDLC tools and security features that our customers use on a daily basis. In addition, we are working on exciting technical problems such as how to dramatically reduce the time it takes to launch a container within AWS as well as tackle challenging problems in scaling our services to match our growing customer demands. If you are someone who is energized by ambiguity, cares deeply about customers and the developer experience, and wants to influence how developers use containers at scale, this job is for you. You will be joining a team with the charter to make containers the new compute primitive and the first choice when architecting modern applications.
