[OpenNash Jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/) / [Amazon](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/) / Software Development Engineer - Silicon Development Infrastructure

## Job description

We're seeking a Software Development Engineer to help architect, build, and operate the

infrastructure that accelerates silicon development at Annapurna Labs. In this role, you'll

contribute to the platforms, tooling, and automation that enable our chip design teams to iterate

faster, validate more thoroughly, and bring transformative silicon to market. You'll work at the

intersection of cloud infrastructure, high-performance computing, and electronic design

automation—building systems that directly impact AWS's ability to innovate in custom silicon.

This is a unique opportunity to grow your skills in infrastructure that supports chip development

while working with world-class engineers across hardware, software, and operations disciplines.

Key job responsibilities

### Customer-Focused Infrastructure Development
- Partner with silicon design, verification, emulation, and software teams to understand

their development workflows, pain points, and iteration cycles.
- Build tooling and automation that eliminates manual toil and reduces time-to-results.
- Gather continuous feedback from internal customers and rapidly iterate on solutions.

Benchmark infrastructure based on silicon development workflows to provide internal

customers with the optimal resources for silicon development.

### Own Platform Delivery and Operations
- Design, implement, and operate cloud infrastructure and high-performance computing

clusters using schedulers like Slurm.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure-as-code and service deployments

with comprehensive testing and safe rollback mechanisms.
- Take ownership of platform reliability, performance, and cost efficiency from initial design

through production operation.

### Drive Results Through Automation and Observability
- Develop monitoring, diagnostics, and alerting systems that surface actionable insights on

efficiency, utilization, reliability, and cost trends.
- Establish incident response processes, runbooks, and documentation that enable

operational excellence.
- Proactively anticipate system failures and implement preventive measures, reducing

operational toil and improving system resilience.

### A day in the life

Each day you will work with some of the best engineers in the industry to develop Machine

Learning Accelerators. On-site in Austin, Texas, you will be part of the team that develops

custom silicon and contribute to the infrastructure that enables this innovation.

You might start your day investigating anomalies in job completion rates or resource utilization

patterns. You could spend your morning collaborating with a design verification team to optimize

their regression workflows, identifying bottlenecks and proposing improvements. In the

afternoon, you might be building new tooling that simplifies infrastructure access for emulation

teams, or contributing to monitoring dashboards that give teams real-time visibility into their

development velocity.

You'll participate in design reviews, contribute to postmortems when incidents occur, and

continuously refine the systems that accelerate the path from RTL to silicon. Throughout the

day, you'll balance immediate customer needs—unblocking a team waiting for compute capacity

—with longer-term platform investments. You'll write code, review infrastructure-as-code

changes, and collaborate across teams who depend on the systems you build.

### About the team

At Annapurna Labs, your infrastructure work directly enables breakthrough innovations in

custom silicon that power AWS and transform industries. You'll collaborate with world-class chip

designers, verification engineers, and software developers who are pushing the boundaries of

what's possible.

We offer the resources and scale of AWS with the innovation culture and

technical depth of a focused silicon team.

If you're passionate about building infrastructure that accelerates innovation, thrive on customer

obsession and ownership, and want to see your work enable the next generation of AWS silicon
