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 – the Graviton processor family – while raising the industry bar for security and performance across our product line.

We integrate hardware, firmware, application software and services to deliver new virtualized and bare‑metal compute platforms for companies from startups through the Fortune 500. We are looking for an experienced leader to drive software development and scaling for new EC2 compute platforms. In this role, you will work with a broad and deep group of technical teams that develop hardware, firmware, systems and application software.

We expect the ideal candidate to have a solid understanding of computer science fundamentals, and expertise in C, C++ or Rust development in a Linux environment. Experience with Linux package management, version control systems, automated build processes, and software unit testing is required. In‑depth knowledge of ML frameworks and cluster management is highly preferred.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. AWS pioneered cloud computing and continues to innovate, powering the businesses of startups to Global 500 companies.

If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.

We value work‑life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. We support you in the workplace and at home, enabling you to achieve greatness in the cloud.

We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. You’ll find endless knowledge‑sharing, mentorship and other career‑advancing resources to help you develop into a well‑rounded professional.
