About the Role

Lambda Kubernetes Service (LKS) is an API-first Kubernetes platform for AI training and inference on Lambda infrastructure. We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the team building its customer-facing platform capabilities: cluster runtime, system components, managed add-ons, and AI workload orchestration.

You’ll lead the engineering team and partner with the Hosted Control Plane team and Lambda’s Compute, Networking, Storage, IAM, Security, and Product teams. The goal is a reliable, extensible Kubernetes experience from a functional vanilla cluster to vetted capabilities such as GPU and network operators, and orchestration options such as Slurm through Slinky.


What You’ll Do

 - Build and lead the engineering team; hire strong engineers, develop technical leaders, and set a high bar for ownership and quality.

 - Define the technical strategy and roadmap for LKS platform capabilities and Kubernetes runtime.

 - Deliver a reliable baseline cluster experience using upstream, CNCF-conforma
