New Job

October 1st, 2007 by Hen

Guess it’s time to mention this. I’ve spent the last week in a completely different job, a manager at Amazon.com. Least I will be a manager once I hire a few people :) Mostly I’m meeting people and figuring things out at the moment.

Here’s the post from jobs@apache.org a little while back:

Amazon.com is seeking a talented engineering manager and talented engineers passionate about Open Source!

The Open Source Engineering team has the company-wide directive to own major Open Source packages across Amazon.com including the Apache Web Server, the Tomcat Servlet Container, and the Jetty Web Server.

You will be empowered to design and implement policy, procedure, and tools that will enable Amazon to stay abreast of the rapid ongoing development of third-party open source projects. You should be passionate about Open Source, building great teams, engineering excellence and strong developer community relationship-building.

Your leadership will have a significant impact on Amazon's software engineering community.

S’gonna be fun

    that does sound like a great job! I’ve been using a *lot* of EC2, S3, SQS, and other AWS technologies, too.

    Hopefully there’ll be some open source code eventually emerging out of Amazon itself… ;)
