Embedded Software Engineer, SRD Annapurna Labs

AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS. Within AWS UC, Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) roles engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

Annapurna Labs, as part of AWS, is looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to join the SW group and take a major part in redefining the future of AWS cloud.

We’re searching for engineers with a passion for networking to develop SRD (Scalable Reliable Datagram). SRD is a high-performance, low-latency transport protocol used within Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure to optimize network performance. SRD powers several high-impact, cutting-edge products, including on-demand ML and HPC platforms leveraging EFA, next-generation storage services built on EBS, and the future of AWS network traffic.
