Our systems authenticate and authorize actions across all Amazon properties - from retail websites to Alexa, Prime Video, and Kindle. We are a foundational service that intersects with every aspect of Amazon's business, enabling next-generation retail services on AWS infrastructure. As a global security provider, we balance resiliency and availability while maintaining agile development speed.

We're seeking a proven technology leader with a track record of shipping production-grade security solutions and demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally. The ideal candidate will be an experienced software development leader who excels in delivering high-impact customer solutions. You will lead and mentor a team of software development engineers, drive architectural decisions, and shape technical strategy.

You will partner with product management to define and execute product strategy, while maintaining regular communication with senior management on status, risks, and strategic direction. You should be passionate about mentoring engineering talent and building high-performing teams while balancing security requirements with builder experience in Amazon's global infrastructure.

About the team

Unified Auth is responsible for securing every service transaction within Amazon SDO’s service-oriented architecture (SOA) by authenticating the services involved in the transaction, authorizing APIs access, and enforcing least-privilege access to Amazon’s business data such as Cart, Order, Customer Identity, Item, Employee Information and more. Unified Auth’s systems are classified as Maximally Secure Applications (MSA) by Amazon Security as they control access to all Amazon services. Amazon’s SOA is large, complex, and ever-growing. A single Amazon customer interaction such as adding an item into cart, proceeding to checkout, adding/changing payment methods, confirming purchase, etc. spans tens to hundreds of inter-service interactions that must be secured and observed using Unified Auth’s systems. Stores, Alexa, Ring, IMDB, Prime Video, Advertisement, Selling Partners, Pharmacy, Ordering and Payments, Fulfillment Centers, and Amazon’s internal systems such as PXT rely on Unified Auth solutions to meet rising access control security and privacy standards, such as Digital Markets Act (DMA) compliance, GDPR, and SOC 2 Type II certification.
