The Data Sources group connects to and queries a wide library of data sources; the AWS Data Sources squad builds and maintains open-source data source plugins in partnership with AWS.

Requirements

  • Professional experience as a Full-stack or Frontend Engineer with expertise in React and TypeScript.
  • Prior experience building user-facing open-source software and comfortable contributing to open-source projects.

  • Experience or comfort with being on-call and performing operations/SRE tasks.
  • Experience with configuration and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Jsonnet and Terraform.
  • Familiarity with containerization and orchestration: Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Understanding of monitoring and observability tooling, including Grafana and Prometheus.
  • Strong remote communication skills and ability to work effectively in a remote-first company.

  • Experience with configuration tools (Jsonnet, Terraform) and cloud services (AWS).
