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.

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.

Amazon Web Services, including EC2, S3, CloudFront, etc. Our engineers solve the
hardest problems that fuse software, hardware, and the cloud. We take big bets
on new concepts, enabling AWS services to continue to revolutionize the
industry.

We are looking for an Embedded Software Development engineer to build and own
the server related firmware. As an embedded software development engineer in
this team, you will work with a team of world-class software developers who
thrive on creating innovative, scalable solutions for real-world data center
infrastructure problems. You will be part of development efforts to build,
validate, and support firmware in diverse technology domains from embedded
software to large-scale distributed software systems, using proprietary and open
source technologies.

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 to build software for the
next-generation platform. You will have a direct impact on our bottom line and
the ability to deliver improvements for our developers. 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.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply
chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles.
