DESCRIPTION

The AWS organization in Bucharest, Romania drives bleeding edge innovation in serverless, container virtualization technologies and secure execution environments. The work we do has direct impact to AWS's Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2), AWS Lambda, AWS Fargate, and Nitro Enclaves. We evolve the Nitro Architecture to make new ways of trusted secure execution environments to our customers. We created Firecracker, an open source virtualization technology purpose-built for creating and managing secure, multi-tenant container and function-based services that provide serverless operational models; and we are building a rust-vmm community for development of virtualization components and purpose-built VMMs. This is incredibly exciting space, and a great opportunity for a Principal Engineer to shape the future open source virtualization technologies and leave a lasting legacy in this space, beyond Amazon.

Firecracker runs workloads (like AWS Lambda functions) in lightweight virtual machines, called microVMs, which combine the security and isolation properties provided by hardware virtualization technology with the speed and flexibility of containers. Nitro Enclaves enables customers to create isolated compute environments to further protect and securely process highly sensitive data such as personally identifiable information (PII), healthcare, financial, and intellectual property data within their Amazon EC2 instances.

We are looking for a Principal Engineer to provide technical leadership to our development teams in Bucharest. In this role, you will define the strategic vision and set the technical direction for Firecracker, Nitro Enclaves, rust-vmm and the other virtualization projects we build.
