About the team
System Development Engineers in AWS Hardware Engineering wear many hats. From orchestration tooling development, to hardware integration, to kernel driver debugging, we dive deep into problems across the breadth of AWS. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of rapidly coming up to speed on new engineering disciplines, making impactful decisions within that space, and have experience gluing together components written by more specialized engineers to create a cohesive, well-running engineering product.
