Job Description
Want to help make the next generation of Machine Learning in the cloud possible? Do you have a laser focus on performance in your code? We want to talk to you!
We own the user-space software that makes the Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) network card work for Machine Learning (ML) and High-Performance Computing (HPC) customers on AWS.

Dive deep into how your customers are doing collectives and messaging at high bandwidth and low latency. Provide expert-level support to some of the biggest names in AI in the world.
A day in the life
Start from the needs of your customer and invent new ways of cutting the occupancy of the software stack for EFA. Get your peers and stakeholders on board with excellent written designs.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.
It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
