Sr. System Development Engineer Accelerator Servers AI​/ML

Do you want to shape the future of Generative AI at AWS? Join the team building the foundation of the world’s most advanced cloud for AI training and inference — where multi‑billion‑parameter models come to life e, you’ll design, deliver, and operate next‑generation infrastructure that powers breakthrough innovation in AI/ML and HPC workloads. If you’re passionate about pushing the limits of performance, efficiency, and scalability in the cloud, this is your opportunity to build the systems that define what’s next for AWS — and for the entire AI industry.

You’ll join a diverse AWS Hardware Engineering team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

The ideal candidate for this role will be an innovative self‑starter. You are knowledgeable of the full technical stack — vertically from bare‑metal server hardware up to the software in userland and everything in between. You have a tremendous interest in cloud scale and are curious how systems and software decisions impact the user. You insist on the highest standards and are able to develop tactical solutions/tools to diagnose and fix issues.

You are an excellent systems debugger — finding interaction issues between components on server systems. You are a leader with strong organizational, planning, and communication skills. You are a builder!
