Duckbill is hiring three-five engineers for 3 roles with hybrid work in downtown SF. We're in-office MWF and WFH Tuesday and Thursdays. Relocation is an option but sponsorship / remote is not.
We're working on Skyway, a new kind of enterprise-grade finops tool born out of the Duckbill Group's consulting business. We're staying small (team-wise) but focusing on the largest of the SaaS spenders and their problems exclusively. We ship daily and have several unfair advantages.
1. Senior Front-end Engineer (TS/JS/React + bit of Python back-end)
2. Senior Back-end Engineer (Python + bit of front-end)
3. Senior Data Engineer (Python, airflow, duckdb, s3, bigquery)
internal reports from current AWS engineers seem to be confirming all of the speculation in this article. Shit's rotten from the inside out and you can pretty evenly blame AI, brain drain, and good old fashioned "big company politics"
There's been a massive talent exodus, especially among the principal and senior principal engineering roles, across all Amazon orgs since the RTO policies have been enforced. Its demoralizing to lose key engineers that you look up to and want to continue to learn from all because a few people far removed from the day to day make a bad call.
RTO in combination with Amazon being last place in AI innovation have led to departures of anyone that can leave, leaving.
> So they can't suggest a fix even if they know 100% what it will be. Thats exactly what happened this time. EIGHT different staff members pointed to the underlying cause and were told (some literally) to "shut the f*ck up and get back to your job"
Jesus, if even an ounce of that is true... Yes, everyone on the internet is a cat clawing on a keyboard... but if a ton of people legitimately confirmed to be ex-AWS point to similar culture issues... probably it's AWS that's rotting.
The problem is that if it was 8 in 10 suggestions or even 8 in 20, then yes, terrible. On the other hand, if it was 8 needles in a haystack of garbage, at some point you do, in fact, need to tell people to STFU so you can work.

Comp range is generous on the equity and between 180k and 210k base depending on seniority. We're cooking with flask, react, postgres, clickhouse, parquet and airflow on AWS at the moment.

I'm surprised this take isn't gaining more ground in these discussions.
people keep talking about how "this is what all these Americans want" - bologna I say. They're just voting how they've been programmed to believe.
Find me a Trump supporter that has only researched him from first-hand credible sources and has not been influenced by friends, family, social media, or mainstream media. I would be very surprised if any person like this exists.
last time the checks and balances were more prepared to handle (block) him.
this time, they're primed to enable and embolden their plans (see project 2025).
I don't expect these four years to be anything like the last time. I legitimately won't be surprised if this is the last somewhat-normal presidential election in the united states
