## Job description

Join the AWS EC2 Nitro team building the foundation of cloud computing at unprecedented scale. EC2 Nitro powers the world's largest and fastest-growing compute cloud through ground-up virtualization design built on fully custom hardware, firmware, and applications. Our platform supports Intel, AMD, and Amazon's Graviton processors while setting industry standards for security and performance.

The EC2 Nitro local storage team is seeking an experienced Software Development Engineer to build virtualized, hardware-accelerated solutions for EC2 disk instances at global scale. Our platforms support workloads requiring high-performance read/write access to massive local datasets, including relational and NoSQL databases, analytics engines, search platforms, and data warehousing systems that power state-of-the-art AI/ML infrastructure.

This role offers unique opportunities to work across the full technology stack—from low-level hardware optimization to high-level frameworks. If you are passionate about solving complex performance optimization problems at massive scale while directly influencing product strategy, this position provides the perfect opportunity to make significant impact on the infrastructure powering modern cloud computing and AI/ML workloads.

### Key job responsibilities

The ideal candidate is expected to have a solid understanding of computer science fundamentals and embedded concepts and expertise in C, C++, Java, Rust or similar development in a Linux environment. Experience with Linux package management, version control systems, automated build processes, and software unit testing is required.

### A day in the life

We place a high value on work-life balance. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to lifelong happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal life.

### About the team

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough but kind code reviews. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.
