Annapurna Labs, our organization within AWS, is responsible for building innovation in silicon and software for AWS customers. With development centers in the U.S. and Israel, Annapurna is at the forefront of innovation by combining cloud scale with the world’s most talented engineers. Our team covers multiple disciplines including silicon engineering, hardware design and verification, software, and operations. Because of our teams’ breadth of talent, we’ve been able to improve AWS cloud infrastructure in networking and security with products such as AWS Nitro, Enhanced Network Adapter (ENA), and Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA), in compute with AWS Graviton and F1 EC2 Instances, in machine learning with AWS Neuron, Inferentia and Trainium ML Accelerators, and in storage with scalable NVMe.

As part of Annapurna Labs team, you’ll have the opportunity to invent the next generation of cloud computing infrastructure. You’ll experience what it’s like to work in a fast-paced, innovative, and start-up like environment filled with some of the brightest minds in the industry. The work we do is not only cutting-edge and internet-scale but also deeply important to our customers. We design and build every component of our hardware and software to come together into products that our customers use for accelerated computing: either Machine Learning acceleration, or FPGA acceleration. We get our hands dirty, from creating our own silicon, ensuring our hardware is functional and healthy, and managing the full lifecycle of our systems at the huge scale and complexity of AWS.

If you want a career that makes an impact, allows you to invent, and have first-hand visibility into how your implementations delight customers, then we have a role for you.

If you're interested in being on a team that is "building a complete product" from inception to delighted customers, Annapurna is a fantastic choice.
