You'll be surrounded by people who are incredibly smart, passionate about observability, and believe that we are only scratching the surface of what AWS can really do to help developers, DevOps engineers, and business owners everywhere.

This is a unique opportunity to grow a new AWS service. In this role, you will hire and develop teams of talented engineers to build modern observability solutions. You will be positioning AWS as a thought leader in related projects by collaborating and engaging closely with the community, working with, and contributing to projects such as Prometheus, Cortex, and Thanos.
