Software Development Engineer - Silicon Development Infrastructure

Key job responsibilities Customer-Focused Infrastructure Development Partner with silicon design, verification, emulation, and software teams to understand their development workflows, pain points, and iteration cycles. Build tooling and automation that eliminates manual toil and reduces time-to-results. Gather continuous feedback from internal customers and rapidly iterate on solutions.

Benchmark infrastructure based on silicon development workflows to provide internal customers with the optimal resources for silicon development. Own Platform Delivery and Operations Design, implement, and operate cloud infrastructure and high-performance computing clusters using schedulers like Slurm. Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure-as-code and service deployments with comprehensive testing and safe rollback mechanisms.

Take ownership of platform reliability, performance, and cost efficiency from initial design through production operation. Drive Results Through Automation and Observability Develop monitoring, diagnostics, and alerting systems that surface actionable insights on efficiency, utilization, reliability, and cost trends. Establish incident response processes, runbooks, and documentation that enable operational excellence.

Proactively anticipate system failures and implement preventive measures, reducing operational toil and improving system resilience. A day in the life Each day you will work with some of the best engineers in the industry to develop Machine Learning Accelerators. On-site in Austin, Texas, you will be part of the team that develops custom silicon and contribute to the infrastructure that enables this innovation.

You might start your day investigating anomalies in job completion rates or resource utilization patterns. You could spend your morning collaborating with a design verification team to optimize their regression workflows, identifying bottlenecks and proposing improvements. In the afternoon, you might be building new tooling that simplifies infrastructure access for emulation teams, or contributing to monitoring dashboards that give teams real-time visibility into their development velocity.

You'll participate in design reviews, contribute to postmortems when incidents occur, and continuously refine the systems that accelerate the path from RTL to silicon. Throughout the day, you'll balance immediate customer needs- unblocking a team waiting for compute capacity- with longer-term platform investments. You'll write code, review infrastructure-as-code changes, and collaborate across teams who depend on the systems you build.

About the team At Annapurna Labs, your infrastructure work directly enables breakthrough innovations in custom silicon that power AWS and transform industries. You'll collaborate with world-class chip designers, verification engineers, and software developers who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible. We offer the resources and scale of AWS with the innovation culture and technical depth of a focused silicon team.

If you're passionate about building infrastructure that accelerates innovation, thrive on customer obsession and ownership, and want to see your work enable the next generation of AWS silicon - we want to hear from you.
