AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations - from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

Our software developers build the next generation technologies that change how millions of AWS customers connect, and interact with AWS services ecosystem. We use ideas from every facet of computer science including distributed computing, large-scale design, service oriented architecture & networking, We are looking for highly-motivated and passionate engineers to build next generation of network management for one of the largest networks in the world.

About the team

EC2 Nitro drives the planet’s largest, fastest growing and most feature-rich compute cloud. Nitro is AWS’s ground-up design for virtualization at global scale built on a fully custom stack of hardware, firmware and applications. Nitro has enabled EC2 to support Intel, AMD and Amazon’s custom silicon - Graviton3 - while raising the industry bar for security and performance across our product line. The Nitro Team is looking for engineers with systems knowledge and experience in area such as Linux OS boot sequencing, Kernel, Hypervisor (Xen or KVM), peripheral device development (PCIe or NVMe) and building compute infrastructure to support High Memory and High performance computing workloads.

The Nitro High Memory and HPC team owns the purpose built platform development for the High performance computing workloads and database workloads like SAP, Oracle and SQL with tens of terra-byte of memories. Team interfaces directly with system BIOS for bare-metal instances and drives critical system interactions within the Nitro Hypervisor and across EC2 control-plane services. We need engineers with the dive-deep and ownership to work across domains (such as PC peripheral firmware or Linux Kernel internals) to deliver features and new instance types for our customers. Work is typically done in C/C++ or Rust with supporting script and tests in Python and Lua. Senior Software Development Engineers work closely with EC2 Principal Engineers and other technical leaders to define technical direction, and then follow through with detailed analysis, designs, and high quality code.Inclusive Team Culture

Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and host annual and ongoing learning experiences,

including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences. Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

Work/Life Balance

Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to

life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.

Mentorship & Career Growth

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about

your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future
