Description
AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides 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, Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

Customers choose us to create cloud solutions that solve challenges that were unimaginable a short time ago—even yesterday. Our custom chips, accelerators, and software stacks enable us to take on technical challenges that have never been seen before, and deliver results that help our customers change the world.
In Annapurna Labs we are at the forefront of hardware/software co-design not just in Amazon Web Services (AWS) but across the industry. The Machine Learning Fleet Operations Team is looking for candidates interested in diving deep into our "fleet" of Machine Learning servers deployed around the world.

We are seeking an engineer who is comfortable debugging emergent problems in GPU and server hardware, writing scripts in languages such as Python, Bash and/or Golang, running large scale experiments on a fleet of complex hardware, developing data infrastructure and analyzing trends, and developing automation software to scale operations.
Our team has end to end ownership of some of the most advanced server hardware in the world. We drive technical debug efforts and write truly massive scale autonomous software to monitor, optimize, and remediate machine learning hardware. Come join us!
