About the position
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of Amazon's fastest growing businesses. We are passionate about thinking big, innovating on behalf of our customers, and tackling problems at scale. Cloud computing is disrupting, and we are eagerly seeking talented, entrepreneurial-minded individuals to join us as we continue build on the AWS platform. AWS is the largest cloud provider in the world, serving nearly 1/3 of all internet traffic. One in two of our customers come to us for help creating the future of the internet, and you will own the customer experience for the cloud based tools they use. The AWS Application Security Team is looking for a curious and motivated engineer and leader to build great automations, generative AI tools, workflows, and back-end engines for our customers. We own protecting customers and hardening all the services and features we launch for those customers. You will be responsible building tooling that AWS AppSec teams use to help facilitate security reviews during their partnerships with AWS Product Teams. In this role, a Software Engineer must produce results in the face of ambiguity and imperfect knowledge, and foster constructive dialogue and seek resolution when confronted with disagreement. They are also expected to mentor more junior engineers and be security thought leader for their organization. Amazon's Leadership Principles of "Dive Deep", "Earn Trust", and "Customer Obsession" will be called upon daily, so a successful candidate will need a combination of technical and communication skills, as well as the ability to handle a mix of complex decisions while keeping customer security first!
