If you have a passion for systems software engineering and/or embedded firmware development, then this is a unique opportunity to build the core of the AWS cloud by delivering compute platforms. You'll be working on emerging technology that drives innovation from startups through major enterprises.

EC2 Nitro Firmware Team owns the intersection between EC2 Hardware and the rest of software stack in the Nitro card. This team is involved in software/firmware development, platform bring-up, and owns stability of platform software and firmware. This team is also responsible for development of tools and processes to measure firmware performance, qualification, monitoring, and deployment across all EC2 platforms.

You will be involved in hands-on software development including software design reviews, implementation, code reviews, new platform enablement/bring-up, automated test development, deployment, and monitoring to make sure your code is working properly at scale. You will closely engage with silicon designers, hardware engineers, and internal/external partners to design, bring-up, and launch new EC2 compute platforms.

The ideal candidate is expected to have solid understanding of computer science fundamentals, solid RTOS concepts (Linux kernel internals is a plus), low-level embedded concepts with ability to code in C/C++, and strong scripting experience (Bash/Lua/JS/Python). Experience with version control systems, automated build processes, and software unit testing are required. Experience with Networking and/or Distributed computing is a plus.

This team creates the very core of the cloud, and is directly responsible for radically changing and improving the way that people use computers - come help us make history!

Our team is diverse! We drive towards an inclusive culture and work environment. We are intentional about attracting, developing, and retaining amazing talent from diverse backgrounds.
