Software Development Engineer - Silicon Development Infrastructure; AWS

Software Development Engineer - Silicon Development Infrastructure

We're looking for a Software Development Engineer to help architect, build, and operate the infrastructure that accelerates silicon development at Annapurna Labs. In this role you will collaborate with silicon design, verification, emulation, and software teams, build tooling and automation to eliminate manual toil, and create systems that directly impact AWS's ability to innovate in custom silicon.

• Partner with silicon design, verification, emulation, and software teams to understand their development workflows, pain points, and iteration cycles.
• Build tooling and automation that eliminates manual toil and reduces time‑to‑results.
• Gather continuous feedback from internal customers and rapidly iterate on solutions.
• Benchmark infrastructure based on silicon development workflows to provide internal customers with the optimal resources for silicon development.

• Design, implement, and operate cloud infrastructure and high‑performance computing clusters using schedulers like Slurm.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure‑as‑code and service deployments with comprehensive testing and safe rollback mechanisms.
• Take ownership of platform reliability, performance, and cost efficiency from initial design through production operation.

• Develop monitoring, diagnostics, and alerting systems that surface actionable insights on efficiency, utilization, reliability, and cost trends.
• Establish incident response processes, runbooks, and documentation that enable operational excellence.
• Proactively anticipate system failures and implement preventive measures, reducing operational toil and improving system resilience.

Each day you will work with some of the best engineers in the industry to develop Machine Learning Accelerators. On‑site in Austin, Texas, you will be part of the team that develops custom silicon and contribute to the infrastructure that enables this innovation. You might start the day investigating anomalies in job completion rates or resource utilization patterns, collaborate with a design verification team to optimize their regression workflows, or build new tooling that simplifies infrastructure access for emulation teams.
