Job description

Description
As part of the AWS Solutions organization, we have a vision to provide business applications, leveraging Amazon’s unique experience and expertise, that are used by millions of companies worldwide to manage day-to-day operations.

We will accomplish this by accelerating our customers’ businesses through delivery of intuitive and differentiated technology solutions that solve enduring business challenges.

We blend vision with curiosity and Amazon’s real-world experience to build opinionated, turnkey solutions.

Where customers prefer to buy over build, we become their trusted partner with solutions that are no-brainers to buy and easy to use.

The way the world works is undergoing enormous change.

People are working from home, on the go, and moving from one project to the next.

And, they're collaborating across borders, time zones, and organizations.

We built Amazon Web Services End User Computing (EUC) services to give companies the agility to respond to the changing needs of their workforce.

Our vision is to be the best place for customers to run and access their desktops and apps from any device.

As we continuously innovate to increase workforce productivity, we are looking for a software engineer to build a new service to realize that vision.

More information about Amazon End- User Computing can be found here: https://aws.amazon.com/products/end-user-computing/

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer who is excited by the unique challenges in this space, and who is able to think strategically as well as drive implementation.

You will influence the technical direction of the team, working with many different technologies and organizations across AWS and Amazon.

As a SDE working on Niva OS, you will tailor an Ubuntu-based distribution for our use cases and enforce a verifiable chain of trust from boot to userspace.

You’ll curate and build Debian and Snap packages, sign artifacts, and automate image builds and optimze OTA/rollback flows.

You will integrate Secure Boot, kernel lockdown, dm-verity, and measured boot with TPM 2.0 and device attestation.

You are comfortable in Java, C++, Shell scripting and Python in a Linux environment.

Prior contributions to upstream Linux or other open-source projects are required.

The candidate must have experience in one or more of these areas: Ubuntu Linux customization on X86 based platforms.

Proficiency in Python and Java for production-quality software.

Experience with Linux low-level system development.

Our team is constantly innovating, finding new ways of building massively scalable systems.

We set a high bar to build and deliver highly secure, highly available, and highly scalable systems.

We are passionate about our customers, and love to solve their most critical problems.

If you just like us enjoy working with a fun team that prides itself on a great work environment with an inclusive group of people, surround yourself with a highly talented pool of engineers that like to solve complex problems, join us.
