A day in the life You will use agentic AI-powered coding and design tools to build and ship services that manage SSD health across the AWS fleet. Your work spans the full SSD lifecycle: designing qualification frameworks, building drive log collection services, analyzing fleet-wide telemetry data, and driving SSD firmware fixes from root cause to production deployment. The SSD landscape is evolving fast, driven by GenAI server architectures, GPU direct-attached storage, and next-generation PCIe interfaces. You will help shape how we tackle these challenges with software. The team is small, experienced, and collaborative. We share context in standups, pair on hard problems, and make decisions quickly without layers of process. You will have real ownership and direct impact at AWS scale. About the team The OEM SSD team sits within AWS Hardware Engineering Services and is responsible for every OEM solid-state drive in the AWS fleet. That is multi-million drives, across multi-million hosts, from multiple OEM major vendors. We qualify new drives, manage firmware lifecycles, monitor drive health, and build the automation to do all of it at scale. The team is a mix of hardware engineers and software engineers who work closely together. We are in Cupertino, Seattle, and Denver, and we operate with a startup feel inside AWS: small team, big problems, direct impact. ## Related Videos - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
