As a server performance leader, you’ll work on Amazon’s hardest problems, building high quality, architecturally sound systems that are aligned with AWS business needs. You will interact with internal and external interdisciplinary teams of engineers to design, develop, validate, launch, monitor and troubleshoot at large scale, ensuring servers are operating at maximum performance while staying within thermal budgets. You will work closely with CPU/GPU suppliers to align and influence roadmaps, driving future architectures. This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position. At AWS we are changing the industry and want individuals who are ready for a challenge to reach beyond what is possible today.
