● Have experience with many languages but can be effective in any language
● Appreciate that all mature software solutions accumulate technical debt and understand how to continually reduce debt and complexity
● Understand how to build highly reliable systems and be responsible for taking code to production
● Understand that code simplicity and readability are more important for long term maintainability
● Want to work on challenging problems and impactful work without being micromanaged
We're hiring across disciplines for engineers who work with Unix and have fluent written and spoken English:
● Backend Servers: Strong in C, Concurrency and Distributed Computing
● Backend Servers: Strong in Java
Full-time only. Remote only. We start out on a full-time trial contract basis for up to 3 months and use this period as an extended work interview for both sides to assess fit for long-term employment.

We recently announced $14.4 million in funding to make blockchains & digital assets useful for the world. Founded by Jump Crypto alumni and core contributors to the Solana protocol and the Firedancer client (https://github.com/firedancer-io/firedancer), we’re tackling fundamental scalability, performance, and usability challenges in distributed ledgers. Our runtime conforms to the RISC-V specification—moving away from domain-specific VMs, DSLs, and bespoke compiler toolchains that limit developer and institutional adoption. Components are developed in C for maximal control over performance and resource usage.
Interesting problems you’ll tackle:
- Building and testing high-performance subsystems in C (cryptographic routines, consensus primitives, networking protocols)
- Designing robust process isolation on modern CPU architectures and tile-based multi-core layouts
- Optimizing memory hierarchies, cache utilization, and low-level I/O for commodity servers
You:
- 5+ years of systems programming in C/C++, Rust, or similar
- Deep expertise in CPU microarchitecture, memory subsystems, and low-level performance tuning
- Strong understanding of distributed systems design and consensus protocols
- Experience with high-performance networking and protocol design in real-time environments

I'm a team lead engineer at Annapurna Labs, the small company-within-a-company that designs AWS custom silicon. My organization designs and runs the Trainium and Inferentia machine learning (ML) accelerators. Our team is hiring engineers to help build the on-chip firmware stack for new and existing chips. This firmware is the lowest layer of the Neuron software stack; you can think of it as implementing a silicon-accelerated virtual machine that the Neuron compiler targets.
This is a bare metal, system software-oriented role (think C/C++); no specific ML experience is needed, but if you have experience writing GPU/CUDA kernels or microcode for other systems, we can definitely put your experience to work. If you're interested in machine learning, you'll be adjacent to people who have tons of experience with high performance compute, chip design, and ML algorithms.
We offer relocation to Austin or Cupertino; the team is split evenly between the two sites.
Ping me if you're wanting to chat about the team or the role: ghilliar -at- amazon.com. I'm an embedded systems engineer and I don't bite :)
