Job Information
Amazon Software Development Engineer, Amazon Integrated Security in San Luis Obispo, California
Description
We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations:
San Luis Obispo, CA, USA
Come and build innovative services that protect our cloud from security threats. As an Amazon Integrated Security Software Development Engineer (SDE), you’ll help to build and manage services that detect and automate the mitigation of cyber threats across Amazon’s infrastructure. You’ll work with data scientists, security engineers, and other software development engineers across multiple teams to develop innovative security solutions at massive scale. Our services protect Amazon customers and preserves our customers’ trust in us. You’ll get to use 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 – not many teams can say that!
Key job responsibilities
Our engineers solve complex architectural problems with simple solutions, where “can’t be done” isn’t considered an answer, and scalability, reliability and availability are a must. You will work on a highly collaborative team that is willing to take calculated risks to deliver quickly without sacrificing maintainability. You will join a team that values strong intuition, but seek metrics and other data sources to back up their assumptions. You will stretch yourself and grow. You will share your knowledge with others and help others achieve. Our team's environment is one where you own everything end to end: design, development, testing, deploying through rapid iteration. You'll work with team leaders who unburden our engineers of wasted time and red tape, empower them to make trade offs without amassing unjustifiable tech debt, and insist on automating away operational inefficiencies.
