Considering his recent advisory work related to Scala, there's a good chance he'll lead an effort to build new services in Scala. A guy like James is clearly passionate about language design, so I be he'll help shape the future of Scala as well, using input from his AWS experience.
- claudiug 9y agothat is a bold hypotenuse. Also, I guess for AWS is more a marketing tool to get more developers. The same for heroku(matz), dropbox(Guido)

- colmmacc 9y agoFWIW (and we're hiring) ... several AWS services are already written in Scala.
- polymeris 9y agoIf I were to join Amazon, what orgs/teams should I lean towards if I prefer to do FP? I have more experience in Clojure but Scala would be great, too.
- jhall1468 9y agoAmazon is super Java oriented so the overwhelming majority of backend work will be in Java. I would just search Amazon.jobs for Clojure or Scala, since even within specific teams you might see a combination of OOP and FP.
