DESCRIPTION

Job summaryAs an AWS Security Software Development Engineer (SDE), you'll contribute as a backend developer to build and manage services that detect and automate the mitigation of cyber threats across Amazon's infrastructure. You'll collaborate with data scientists, security engineers, and software development engineers across teams to develop security solutions at massive scale. You'll get to use the full power and breadth of AWS technologies to proactively protect every single AWS customer, both internally and externally, from security threats - not many teams can say that.

Mentorship & Career Growth

Our team is dedicated to supporting new team members. The team has a mix of experience levels, and we're building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior engineers and managers truly enjoy mentoring both junior engineers and engineers from non-traditional backgrounds through one-on-one mentoring and collaboration.

We care about your career growth. We assign projects and tasks based on what will help team members develop into more well-rounded engineers and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.

Inclusive and Diverse Culture

Our team is intentional about attracting, developing, and retaining amazing talent from diverse backgrounds. Yes, we get to build cool, new services, but we also believe a big reason for that is the inclusive and welcoming culture we cultivate every day.

We're looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, reliable, and able to work effectively with a diverse team of peers. We want someone who will help us amplify the positive and inclusive team culture we've been building.

Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and we host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences. Amazon's culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

Work/Life Balance

Our team also puts a high value on work-life balance. Striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life is crucial to your happiness and success here, which is why we aren't focused on how many hours you spend at work or online. Instead, we're happy to offer a flexible schedule so you can have a more productive and well-balanced life-both in and outside of work.

We are passionate about the capabilities we build, and are responsible for an on-call rotation to ensure our services bring the most value to customers. We understand that life can be challenging, and we have a flexible work environment enabling individuals to adjust their work schedule to accommodate any personal needs.
