Description
Build the systems that bring Amazon"s newest servers to life. As a Systems Development Engineer on EC2 Core Platforms Engineering, you"ll work at the seam between hardware and software to launch new compute platforms, keep the core fleet healthy at massive scale, and automate the way we build.
We own the quality, performance, and reliability of the platforms that host EC2 instances, from lab bring-up through general availability. You"ll bring up and validate new EC2 server platforms, working hands-on with Nitro firmware, operating systems, and provisioning, then diagnose and reduce failures across the core fleet to drive reliability. A big part of the role is building the automation, including AI-driven tooling, that makes platform launches faster, safer, and more repeatable.

Key job responsibilities
- Help bring up and validate new server platforms that host cloud compute instances, from early lab testing through production launch, working across firmware, operating systems, and hardware.
- Diagnose and reduce hardware and software failures across a large-scale server fleet, using a data-driven, methodical approach to find root causes and drive fixes that improve reliability.
- Build software and automation that streamline how new platforms are introduced, reducing manual effort in provisioning, deployment, and validation so platforms reach production faster and with a high quality bar.
- Develop solutions to difficult problems that span firmware, operating systems, networking, and infrastructure.
- Improve the safety, agility, and automation of the build and launch process, and share what you learn with the team.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
