Join us as we build innovative services that integrate some of our 3rd party tools into Amazon Security's core platforms that protect our cloud from security threats! As a Systems Development Engineer (SysDev) for Amazon Security Platform Engineering, you will design, build, and manage services that enable detection and automation of the mitigation of cybersecurity threats across all of Amazon’s internal services, as well as Amazon's use of 3rd party clouds such as Azure and Google. We are looking for a SysDev who is excited about designing and building solutions to solve challenging problems for mission critical systems that protect Amazon and our customer data.

We obsess over earning customer trust and the protection of our customers and their data. As part of our new team, you will set the groundwork for how we build, integrate, and operate tooling that provides system hardening, configuration best practices, mitigation of vulnerabilities, and the auditing of configurations of cloud resources across Amazon at a global scale. SysDevs work with security engineers, software development engineers, and other SysDevs as we leverage the full power and breadth of AWS technologies to build services that proactively protect every single AWS customer, both internally and externally, from security threats.

You will share your knowledge with others and help others achieve. Our team members own everything end to end: design, development, testing, and deploying through rapid iteration. Our team leaders empower you to move fast, make trade-offs without amassing unjustifiable tech debt, and insist on automating away operational inefficiencies.
