System Development Engineering, ECNitro Memory and HPC team

Overview

Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations – from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to continuously released new product innovations that set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry.

As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

EC2 Nitro drives the planet’s largest, fastest-growing and most feature-rich compute cloud. Nitro is AWS’s 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 Amazon’s custom silicon – Graviton3 – while raising the industry bar for security and performance across our product line.

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 terabytes of memory. The 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 who dive deep and take 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 scripts and tests in Python and Lua.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge‑sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one‑on‑one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects that help our team members develop your engineering expertise so you feel empowered to take on more complex tasks in the future.
