Bottlerocket is fully open source and powers container workloads across Amazon EKS, Amazon ECS, and bare-metal environments at massive scale. As an Senior SDE on this team, you will own significant components of the OS, from system services and update mechanisms to security hardening and package management. You'll design solutions that balance reliability, security, and performance for millions of container hosts, while collaborating openly with the broader community. This role combines deep systems programming with high-level architecture decisions, and your work will ship to customers as both open-source contributions and integrated AWS service features. ### Key job responsibilities - Design & build OS components — Develop and maintain core Bottlerocket subsystems (update engine, API server, host-container orchestration, settings management). - Security-first development — Implement and maintain security features - Open-source stewardship — Participate in upstream communities, review external contributions, publish RFCs, and maintain public documentation and tooling. - Cross-team integration — Collaborate with internal and external partner teams to ensure Bottlerocket meets orchestrator requirements and customer needs. - Operational excellence — Own the build and release pipeline (including Twoliter, the Bottlerocket build system), drive quality through automated testing, and support production rollouts. - Mentorship & technical leadership — Raise the bar through design reviews, code reviews, and mentoring junior engineers on systems programming best practices. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Aug 4, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Aug 20, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 11, 2026 - Listed for: 68 days - Location: US, WA, Seattle[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10492038/senior-software-engineer-bottlerocket) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [AWS Software Development Manager, Elastic Load Balancing](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/8bc81eb90a02a81cc9b1/) US, WA, Seattle ### [Applied Science Manager, Computer Vision, Perception Science, Prime Air Vehicle Software](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/f8f3afcff56816849d13/) US, WA, Seattle ### [Developer Experience Engineer, AWS Developer Experience](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/fbd46cd6cad9f0b7a4b1/) US, WA, Seattle ### [Developer Marketing Manager, Developer Marketing](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/d8c4520c33f205cd0159/) US, WA, Seattle ### [Director of Software Development](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/cff67c726a21a2a83042/) US, WA, Seattle ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Software Engineer/Sr. Software Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/194f63de625f0dce008e/) Microsoft · United States, Washington, Redmond ### [Senior Software Engineer/Software Engineer II](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/533e77af5ee9c7fa5145/) Microsoft · United States, Washington, Redmond ### [Software and Data Engineer - Software Engineer III- Agentic Pricing](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/jpmorganchase/jobs/1adbc421af4b64b8e0c5/) JPMorganChase · Jersey City, NJ, United States ### [Software Developer/Software Engineer in Test](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/general-dynamics/jobs/229bce1af89aceaed99c/) General Dynamics · Falls Church, VA, US ### [Software Engineer II – Embedded Software](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/bae-systems/jobs/9325424177b18e460029/) BAE Systems · Merrimack, New Hampshire, United States [Jobs in Seattle, WA](/locations/us/wa/seattle/)[Jobs in Washington](/locations/us-wa/)[Software Engineering jobs](/functions/software-engineering/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
