Do you want to build the backbone of AWS? Do want to build the future of the cloud? You are intrigued by the continuous release of newer AWS services and instance types that solve newer, bigger and more interesting business problems every day? Does that make you wish your talents were applied to those at cloud scale? If yes, then come join us - we are looking for builders like you.
The AWS Hardware Engineering team creates server designs for Amazon’s innovative web services. Our designs are industry-leading in frugality and operational excellence, and are critical to the success of the AWS business and millions of customers who use AWS today. Our engineers solve challenging technology problems, and build architecturally sound, high-quality components to enable AWS to realize critical business strategies.
The ideal candidate for this role will be an innovative self-starter. You are knowledgeable of the full technical stack - vertically from baremetal server hardware up to the software in userland, and everything in the middle. You have tremendous interest in cloud scale and curious how systems and software decisions impact the user. You insist on 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!
What you will do
You will be a member of a team designing AWS-specific hardware and software. You will contribute towards AWS server design velocity, operations, resilience, quality and safety. You will be a part of the development effort from conception through production. You will gain a strong understanding of our server stack, and build tools to analyze and diagnose it in its current and future context. You will use comprehensive knowledge of hardware systems, OS, and the software stack to find the best solutions to multi-factor problems. - improving processes and advocate of operational excellence. You will focus on the durability, security, availability and scalability of systems without impacting customer experience. You'll use knowledge of the server system, it's sub-systems, discrete components and their interactions, and build re-usable diagnostics tools to surface issues and remediate them. Your contributions will improve product by delivering tactical solutions at velocity and enabling other builders to utilize learnings to build strategic solutions at scale. You will collaborate with engineers across the company in architecture, hardware, validation, firmware, and software services.
AWS Engineers are shaping the way people use computers and designing the future of cloud computing technology – come help us make history!
Why it matters
Public cloud IT services represent the majority of growth in the overall IT services market and will continue to do so for several years to come. The scale of AWS, combined with an understanding of how our software and hardware is used, creates a unique opportunity for component customizations that will directly benefit our customers.
Why you will love it
You will work with engineers across the company for delivering the next-generation AWS platforms. You will have a direct impact on our bottom line and the ability to deliver improvements for AWS. You will be part of a growing, fast paced, and fun team. You will have ownership for the implementation of your work. You will see direct product improvements based on the results of your work.
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse 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.
Key job responsibilities
You will be solving complex system level problems which may not defined before hand. You will be owning the teams systems and work proactively in identifying deficiencies, writing tactical code to solve issues before they impact customers, and working with your team to scale the solution. You will decompose big difficult server system testability, reliability and diagnosis problems into straightforward tasks, components or features that you will lead to deliver yourself and through others in parallel. You will use combination of hardware, software, system designs, x86 architecture, processes, diagnosis and operations knowledge.
