About The Position

The AWS Graviton Software team is seeking Software Engineers to drive performance optimization of open source projects, internal services and customer applications. We are looking for engineers who have an interest in performance engineering and/or have relevant experience that can translate to these areas. The role focuses on optimizing software up and down the stack - from working on the Linux kernel to debugging and optimizing Java or Rust applications to digging into and optimizing assembly code. This doesn't mean you have or will have all those skills, but you'll have a chance to learn from those who do. We look at performance across all types of applications and workloads: databases, web services, games, video encoding, ML and HPC, and a variety of internal and customer services and applications to ensure they are taking advantage of Graviton's capabilities. We maintain profiling tools to help AWS customers and internal teams debug performance related problems, often working with them directly find root causes and resolve their issues. We work with the hardware teams to benchmark performance and find optimizations in next generation hardware.
