We continue to grow, and are looking for kernel/embedded C programmers who can deliver ultra-high performance for our EC2 customers - our goal is to be processing many millions of packets per second on embedded CPU cores. This requires both being able to implement highly optimized data structures, but also low level tuning to our hardware. If you have good experience in C/C++ or Rust, and a passion for systems software engineering such as kernel or embedded software development, then this is a unique opportunity to join us in building the platform which is the basis for all new EC2 VPC features in the years to come.
