Job summary

Amazon Inc. is seeking a Systems Development Engineer to design, build, and operate tooling that reduces manual compliance work and accelerates audit readiness.

You will create AI-powered pipelines and integrate with ARCL and Security Assurance systems, while handling data sovereignty across GovCloud and air-gapped regions. You will own end-to-end technical solutions, write production-grade code, and partner with compliance, security, legal, and product teams to meet evolving SOX, FedRAMP, ISO,

Qualifications

• Experience leading the design, automation, deployment, and support of large-scale infrastructure.
• Proficiency in Python or other modern languages (e.g., Python, Ruby, Go, Java, C++, C#, Rust).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines build processes.
• Experience leading the design, build and deployment of complex, reliable and scalable software in production.

Responsibilities

• Apply AI tooling hands-on — building agents, LLM-based systems, and RAG pipelines — to automate compliance workflows and improve accuracy at scale
• Write, review, and maintain production-quality code and design the systems, pipelines, APIs, and integrations that support continuous, automated compliance monitoring
• Force-multiply the compliance team — build the tools that let compliance specialists take on 2–3x more scope and reduce the manual surface area of auditor and evidence interactions
• Integrate with the compliance evidence library (ARCL) and other Security Assurance systems while ensuring data sovereignty and security
• Build tooling that operates across government cloud environments, including FedRAMP and air-gapped (isolated) regions, accounting for their unique evidence-collection and connectivity constraints
• Develop enough compliance-domain fluency (audit programs such as SOX, FedRAMP, ISO, SOC 2) to build the right solutions and to credibly represent automated systems to internal and external auditors
• Partner with security engineering, compliance specialists, legal, and product to translate compliance requirements into engineered solutions
• Instrument, monitor, and continuously improve the reliability and correctness of the compliance automation you build
