Embedded Software Engineer, SRD, Annapurna Labs

DESCRIPTION

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.

Join Annapurna Labs’ SW group and take a major part in redefining the future of AWS cloud. We’re searching for engineers with a passion for computer networks to lead the next level of the transport protocol SRD (Scalable Reliable Datagram) [1]. SRD is at the core of multiple high impact and cutting edge products such as on-demand super computers [2,3], next generation storage services [4], and the future of AWS traffic. Make a difference on a very large scale by taking part in all of the protocol’s life cycle stages from gathering requirements, idea conception through design, implementation, simulation and deployment to the largest public cloud on the planet.

Are you ready to join the future?

Key job responsibilities
As an Embedded Software Engineer in the SRD team your primary role will be to develop and optimize the implementation of SRD technology across AWS's network infrastructure. Your responsibilities will encompass designing, deploying, and maintaining SRD code-base, ensuring its reliability and scalability to accommodate the demands of various applications.
You’ll be familiar with the different platforms and services that run SRD in AWS. You’ll need to deep-dive to understand the different challenges and complexities each of them has. You’ll work with multiple teams both on layers bellow and above SRD SW stack often even define new Hardware modules and enable new offloads to optimize performance.
