Are you passionate about technology and solving hard problems? Do you want to grow your skills as you help us grow and scale the world's largest cloud computing service? Do you want to make history and have fun doing it? If so, Amazon Web Services Elastic Cloud Computing (EC2) is looking for people just like you! EC2 is at the core of AWS services and we are growing every day to meet the demands of our business as we continue to scale.

EC2 Nitro drives the planet’s largest, fastest growing and most feature-rich compute cloud. Nitro is AWS’s ground-up design for virtualization at a global scale built on a fully custom stack of hardware, firmware and applications. Nitro has enabled EC2 to support Intel, AMD and Amazon’s custom silicon - Graviton - while raising the industry bar for security and performance across our product line. The EC2 Provisioning team is the assembly line for EC2, turning new servers into EC2 virtualized hosts running customer workloads across the globe. Every EC2 customer instance running on every host-type, in every data center , across the globe has passed through services operated by this team. EC2 Provisioning engineers become subject matter experts on distributed, asynchronous services running at global scale.

Within EC2 Provisioning, the Network Provisioning team owns IP management for the EC2 substrate network. Our workflows vend IP addresses to every device attached to the substrate throughout their lifecycle, including rack ingestion, host provisioning, rack migration, and repair. In 2024, we delivered an AWS goal to retire a legacy DHCP system that had been around since the start of EC2 (2006!) and presented the win in the AWS Ops review. We take pride in operational excellence and are relentless driving improvements and simplifying our services.

The infra and technologies needed to this are growing and innovating at rapid pace. Work is primarily done in Java and Go and includes the full lifecycle of software development, including requirements, system design, implementation, testing, monitoring, alarming and reporting. Software Development Engineers work closely with EC2 Principal Engineers and other technical leaders to refine technical direction, and then follow through with detailed analysis, designs, and high quality code.



Key job responsibilities
EC2 engineers are constantly challenged to think of unique and innovative solutions. The quality bar is high. As an engineer here, you will work on the hardest engineering problems in distributed systems at a massive scale and on multiple dimensions. You will exercise your intellectual curiosity, work with motivated teams of sharp individuals, and get insightful guidance from senior and principal engineers.

A day in the life
This is a hands-on position in which you will own everything from end to end: requirements gathering, designs, design reviews, implementations, code reviews, incremental feature launches, operations, mentoring, and the driving of continuous improvement.
