Job Description

Global Services Security (GSS) Engineering is a centralized development team that makes security simpler for all AWS customers. We believe in constantly improving the way in which our users experience security through the innovations that we drive. To achieve this, we collaborate with various businesses to understand customer needs and then design, implement, and support new services that let customers operate at the speed of business.

Are you excited about designing and implementing globally scalable services that simplify security for customers? Are you interested in applying emerging technologies to solve customer challenges?

If so, join our team. We were among the first teams in AWS to develop and launch a fully serverless application available globally to our customers. Now, we recognize that new technologies like AI/ML can transform how the world approaches security. GSS continuously ensures that we use the most suitable technology to solve problems, allowing the services we build to have minimal operational burden and scale to meet the needs of our global customer base.

Key job responsibilities
This role offers a great opportunity to develop new services that enhance security for AWS\'s global customer base. As a senior technical individual contributor, you\'ll join a growing team of talented engineers to design, implement and operate our services. You will also set and drive best practices for the team.

A day in the life
You will collaborate with engineering teams across AWS to design, deliver, and refine solutions that make it easier for our global customers to operate secure and compliant workloads within AWS. As a senior SDE, you\'ll lead the engineering team and work closely with business and product management teams to understand and translate the core requirements into detailed architecture and design. You\'ll work with others on the engineering team to manage day-to-day development activities, and participate in designs, design reviews, code reviews, and implementation. You will also coach and mentor others on the team to support their growth and achievement of career goals.

About the team
GSS Engineering is a globally distributed team driving AWS\'s new security growth initiatives. Our vision is to secure the world\'s workloads and create a brighter future for humanity. We work with customers and partners to develop security solutions that enable our service teams to deliver the right products and features.
