• Hire, coach, and promote software engineers.

About the team:

The Graviton Software organization ports, optimizes, and develops software to drive down the cost of adoption and operation for the AWS Graviton instances. We pro-actively improve and upstream open source software, including Linux kernel, operating system, compilers, libraries, and applications.

We develop services and tools to automate most of the heavy lifting and also maintain publicly available documentation.
