As a Nitro Operating Systems engineer, your day centers around developing and optimizing the specialized OS that powers AWS's Nitro system. You might start by analyzing system metrics from overnight tests, then dive into implementing new OS features for upcoming EC2 capabilities. After lunch, you'll debug a complex memory management issue that's impacting performance. Later, you'll collaborate with hardware engineers to optimize interface code for new Nitro components. You'll wrap up by documenting your changes and preparing for tomorrow's design review with the team. Throughout the day, you'll balance planned feature development with investigating and resolving critical system issues that arise.
