Sr Software Engineer, Graviton Software, Annapurna Labs

DESCRIPTION

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to 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. Within AWS UC, Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) roles engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

The AWS Graviton Software team is looking for Software Engineers to develop tools to drive the optimization of open source and internal applications. Annapurna Labs, part of AWS, designed Graviton as a strategic initiative to improve how software works at Amazon scale. Graviton is Arm-based CPU that delivers better performance, lower price and lower carbon footprint over comparable x86-based instances.

Key job responsibilities
As a Software Developer, you will:

- Build software framework for tools to analyze performance of hardware and software components.
- Leverage existing perf tools like sysstat, sysctl, perf, etc.
- Automate the collection and analysis of processor, OS and workload performance data.
- Help external AWS customers and various internal AWS services like AWS Lambda, Elastic Map Reduce, ElastiCache, and RDS to troubleshoot bottlenecks and to optimize the architecture, algorithms, and deployment on Graviton.
- Work on Linux and other open source code, improving it and contributing the changes back to the community.
- Play an instrumental role in driving the AWS roadmap to deliver cost-effective and performant computing systems.
- Use and further develop your deep knowledge in areas including design, implementation, and data analysis.
- Have the opportunity to lead the innovation and deliver software that powers the world largest cloud provider.
- If you are already an open source developer or passionate about it, you will be able to continue your passion and contribute back to the community across all those projects.
