About the job
Description
Do you want to shape the future of Generative AI at AWS? Join the team building the foundation of the world’s most advanced cloud for AI training and inference — where multi-billion-parameter models come to life at scale. Here, you’ll design, deliver, and operate next-generation infrastructure that powers breakthrough innovation in AI/ML and HPC workloads. If you’re passionate about pushing the limits of performance, efficiency, and scalability in the cloud, this is your opportunity to build the systems that define what’s next for AWS — and for the entire AI industry.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
A day in the life
Your day to day responsibilities will include interfacing with our internal and external customers to understand project requirements and facilitate system development on top of your server design. You will be responsible for solving operational challenges to our existing fleet with the goal of improving the current customer experience as well as developing improved systems for future designs. You will work directly with vendors and ODM/JDM design teams to develop and manufacture your product at scale.
About the team
The team is comprised of both Hardware Design Engineers, System Design Engineers, Software Development Engineers and Technical Program Managers, all with the common goal of delivering the best specialized server fleet possible to our customers.
Why AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
Work/Life Balance
We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
Mentorship and Career Growth
We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.
Diverse Experiences
Amazon values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.
