Customers choose us to create cloud solutions that solve challenges that were unimaginable a short time ago—even yesterday. Our custom chips, accelerators, and software stacks enable us to take on technical challenges that have never been seen before, and deliver results that help our customers change the world. AWS Nitro is the underlying platform for our next generation EC2 instances. Comprised of custom AWS hardware and software that work together to deliver security and performance that is indistinguishable from bare metal. As part of the Nitro team, you will be a thought leader supporting the ground-up development of key features that will support advanced hardware that offloads and accelerates IO for functions, security chips that enable the most secure cloud platform available today, and lightweight hypervisors that manage memory and CPU allocation, delivering bare-metal performance at scale. This role offers a unique blend of hands-on development and leadership responsibilities. For candidates interested in management, there may be opportunities to transition into a full Software Development Manager role in the future, depending on individual performance and personal career goals. However, this is optional, and the core focus of the position remains on technical leadership and hands-on development within the AWS Nitro Cards team ### Key job responsibilities This is a hands-on role that combines software development responsibilities with team leadership. The successful candidate will be expected to: Actively contribute to software development across all verticals, from Linux services and drivers, and related applications, Nitro card integration and Platform bringups. Collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to align development efforts with broader organizational goals. Stay current with emerging technologies and industry trends related to Nitro Cards and AWS infrastructure. This role requires a unique blend of technical expertise and leadership skills, with expectation to actively code and contribute to the development process while coordinating with other teams to ensure new AWS platforms are delivered to the market in time. ### 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 that help our team members develop your engineering expertise so you feel empowered to take on more complex tasks in the future. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: May 20, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 18, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 151 days - Location: US, CA, Cupertino[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10425966/software-development-engineer-nitro-card-annapurna-labs) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [C/C++ Hardware / Software Co-Design SDE, Machine Learning Acceleration Systems](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/7371d5b98addffb42049/) US, CA, Cupertino ### [Firmware Engineer, Annapurna Labs, ML Acceleration - Performance Instrumentation & Developer Tools](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/8fed146c593af012b642/) US, CA, Cupertino ### [Lead Software Engineer, ML Network Stack - Annapurna Labs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/c6dae1c9fdf3a91c8aa2/) US, CA, Cupertino ### [Neuron Collectives Software Engineer, Trainium Collectives](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/5020a0eaa3b86b2d3a2e/) US, CA, Cupertino ### [Neuron Runtime Software Development Engineer, Neuron Runtime](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/465d622e4bcd02a04e96/) US, CA, Cupertino ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Software Development Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/fortinet/jobs/28951e39aa65fab8d748/) Fortinet · Sunnyvale, CA, United States ### [Software Development Engineer (GUI)](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/fortinet/jobs/bb39f255ec65bd5058b8/) Fortinet · Sunnyvale, CA, United States ### [Software Development Engineer II](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/optimum/jobs/bdef493135bced9dff7b/) Optimum · Bethpage, NY, US ### [Software Development Engineer III](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/optimum/jobs/3fea6604c9aa98bcc956/) Optimum · Bethpage, NY, US ### [Senior Embedded Software Development Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/47f921f9ea9b6ae753e9/) Microsoft · United States, Washington, Redmond [Jobs in Cupertino, CA](/locations/us/ca/cupertino/)[Jobs in California](/locations/us-ca/)[Software Engineering jobs](/functions/software-engineering/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
