Description

Join the innovative team at Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) where we are focusing on the integration of Kubernetes with AWS through the AWS Controllers for Kubernetes (ACK) project. ACK enables users to define and utilize AWS service resources directly from Kubernetes, streamlining the management of cloud native applications. With ACK, managing supporting capabilities such as databases or message queues becomes ‘kube-fied’, enhancing the efficiency and scalability of Kubernetes workloads.

As a member of our dynamic team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of containerized computing, enabling our customers to leverage the full potential of Kubernetes and AWS services seamlessly.
