Job summary
Do you love working with development teams to drive global security impact? The AWS Commerce Platform (CP) provides the back and front-end services that enable AWS customers to purchase AWS services and understand and manage their infrastructure costs. CP teams tackle some of the hardest scalability, performance, and distributed computing challenges in the world. CP processes trillions of events per month using stream processing techniques (Kinesis), process billions of line items via map reduce (EMR), and manage artifacts through the latest in database technologies (DynamoDB and Aurora). The AWS CP Security Team is responsible for driving innovative enhancements that raise the bar for how internal and external customers interact with cost and billing resources, systems, and data. At AWS' scale, we must invent new security tools and processes to enable system administrators and developers to build rapidly, while maintaining least privileged access. We are looking for a passionate, innovative, results-oriented individual to help us design and build the security tools and services to improve AWS CP's overall security posture.

As an AWS CP Software Development Engineer, you will build and own internal services that make security better, faster, easier, and cheaper for AWS Commerce Platform engineering teams to consume. You will work with product managers, technical program managers, security engineers, leaders, and senior leaders on your way to delivering security tools and services that have meaningful impact on AWS as a business. You will directly and mentor others to achieve engineering excellence, minimal technical debt, and innovate new security tools and services.

Successful candidates love working directly with a cross-functional team to create new technology to achieve a higher security bar for an organization of development teams. You are passionate about the security of the cloud and you want to solve real business problems. We are looking for engineers who like to solve problems, and remove obstacles. We have a team culture that encourages innovation and we expect team members and management alike to take high degree of ownership for their program vision and execution of ideas. You will have the opportunity to engage with systems that are at the cutting edge of technology. You will be a positive influencer across diverse teams, be able to rally support for your initiatives, and be able to help deeply technical teams create simple product solutions to meet CP’s organizational goals. You instill operational excellence into the tools and services that you build.

Our team also puts a high value on work-life balance. Striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life is crucial to your happiness and success here, which is why we aren’t focused on how many hours you spend at work or online. Instead, we’re happy to offer a flexible schedule so you can have a more productive and well-balanced life—both in and outside of work.

We have a formal mentor search application that lets you find a mentor that works best for you based on location, job family, job level etc. Your manager can also help you find a mentor or two, because two is better than one. In addition to formal mentors, we work and train together so that we are always learning from one another, and we celebrate and support the career progression of our team members.
