Software Development Engineer Silicon Development Infrastructure

Were seeking a Software Development Engineer to help architect build and operate the
infrastructure that accelerates silicon development at Annapurna this role youll
contribute to the platforms tooling and automation that enable our chip design teams to iterate
faster validate more thoroughly and bring transformative silicon to market. Youll work at the
intersection of cloud infrastructure high-performance computing and electronic design
automationbuilding systems that directly impact AWSs ability to innovate in custom silicon.
This is a unique opportunity to grow your skills in infrastructure that supports chip development
while working with world-class engineers across hardware software and operations disciplines.

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 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.
Youll 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 youll balance immediate customer needsunblocking a team waiting for compute capacity
with longer-term platform investments. Youll write code review infrastructure-as-code
changes and collaborate across teams who depend on the systems you build.
