This is incredible. If I knew I'd be working on things like this (as opposed to optimizing ad revenue or "user engagement" by A/B testing button copy), I'd possibly consider working at Meta.

We're doing some interesting things with time sync at AWS, and we are doing so at scale for millions of customers around the world, unlike the small scale stuff that Meta has announced here. Most recently, our team recently announced the Amazon NTP Pools service at time.aws.com.

We've got more cool stuff we are working on.

If we can get past this hiring freeze problem, we still have a couple of slots we need to fill. If you know a lot about time sync and the NTP and PTP protocols, and you have a passion for building some of the biggest impact systems on the planet, let me know.
