The most advanced AI models. The largest cloud infrastructure. At Annapurna Labs, you’ll design the custom silicon and software behind both, and you’ll create what comes next.
Your work won’t stay in a research lab. It will power one of the fastest-growing custom silicon businesses in the world. Annapurna chips like Trainium and Graviton, along with the Nitro System, power AWS and frontier AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic.
You’ll work across the entire infrastructure stack, from chip design and compilers to servers and cloud services.
You’ll start with what customers actually need, not artificial benchmarks, then design the silicon to deliver it. Every generation has been purpose-built, and you can engineer the next one from the ground up.
Every generation of every chip has shipped. You’ll build with a small team’s intensity, and Amazon global infrastructure will put your work into customers’ hands.
Because we own every layer, you’ll develop expertise across domains that no company can offer. Whether you want deep technical mastery or a leadership path, Annapurna Labs helps you build a rare kind of career: one with the full picture.
Work directly with frontier customers to shape chips around real AI and cloud workloads. What you design defines the next generation of AI, and it reaches those customers at scale.
Annapurna Labs designs the custom silicon that powers AWS. With multiple generations of each chip in production, every design cycle builds on real-world deployment, not theory. Graviton runs general-purpose cloud workloads; Trainium trains the largest AI models; and Nitro powers the networking, storage, and security underneath it all. No other cloud provider designs its own compute, AI silicon, and infrastructure hardware under one roof. Here, you can optimize across boundaries no one else can.
Each one owns a different layer of the stack, and together, they take our silicon from design to deployment.
Work across our entire software stack, from compilers to ML kernels, firmware, device drivers, and cloud services. You’ll contribute to each phase, from pre-silicon development through mass production.
Architectures. Interconnects. Memory subsystems. Accelerator engines. You’ll design every layer of the silicon, co-developing each chip with the software and server teams who bring it to production.
Design the server systems that deliver silicon to customers at an unparalleled scale. Own the full lifecycle, from product definition through production ramp, on first-of-their-kind cloud hardware.
“Since years before the AI boom, Annapurna Labs has been driven by a single conviction: the best technology isn’t borrowed; it’s purpose-built. That bet on custom silicon has become one of the fastest-growing businesses in Amazon history. Now, as AI reshapes every industry, our mission remains clear: design for real workloads, refuse to compromise, and build the foundation the next era of AI will run on.”
From culture to tech to career opportunities, our team will tell you what it’s really like working here.
“You can be here for three years and still learn something new every day... The company is evolving so fast as AI continues to change. There’s so much growth here. Why would I want to go anywhere else?”
JasmineSoftware Developer, Silicon Validation
“We’re a team of six engineers and we own the entire AI product line from a mechanical thermal perspective... I don’t know that I could have this opportunity anywhere else—to make a decision in a meeting and have it influence millions of products.”
AliHardware Development Manager, Thermal and Mechanical Engineering
“Since things move so fast, my hand isn’t being held. I’m being given the opportunity by my management to make decisions.There’s no politics, no bureaucracy. You make a mistake, you learn from it, and everyone helps you get to the goal.”
