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 planets largest, fastest growing and most feature-rich compute cloud. Nitro is AWSs 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 Amazons 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,

    About Company

So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

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

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
