10017About the team
The Nitro Instance Services team is a critical middle layer that is the cornerstone of the Nitro design. It provides device emulation, DNS and Instance Meta-data Service (IMDS) to the guest instance. It interfaces directly with system BIOS for bare-metal instances and drives critical system interactions within the Nitro Hypervisor and across EC2 control-plane services. We need engineers with the dive-deep and ownership to work across domains (such as PC peripheral firmware, Linux Kernel internals, and DNS/HTTP protocols) to deliver features and new instance types for our customers. Work is typically done in C/C++ or Rust with supporting script and tests in Python and Lua. Software Development Engineers work closely with senior Engineers and other technical leaders to define technical direction, and then follow through with detailed analysis, designs, and high quality code.
