Systems Development Engineer, Amazon Foundational Security Services

Systems Development Engineer In Amazon Security

At Amazon, security is central to maintaining customer trust and delivering delightful customer experiences. Our organization is responsible for creating and maintaining a high bar for security across all of Amazon's products and services. We offer talented security professionals the chance to accelerate their careers with opportunities to build experience in a wide variety of areas including cloud, devices, retail, entertainment, healthcare, operations, and physical stores.

Our team is looking for a highly motivated Systems Development Engineer in Amazon Security who will raise the security bar by delivering industry-best security services. You should be somebody who enjoys inventing and simplifying around complex security challenges, obsesses over the customer experience, and feels strongly about delivering results. You should be passionate about solving security hurdles in innovative ways. We do not desire to simply produce good software here at Amazon Security... we want to produce disruptive, industry-leading innovations.

Key job responsibilities include owning security for all of Amazon's services offered by Amazon Security, including EC2, S3, and many others, as well as the security of our global retail sites. This team is an EU-based Operations team, integrated with Software Development teams, supporting Amazon Foundational Security Services, to provide our customers with secure by default security services. We dive deep into security technologies such as new access control design patterns, identity security services, access control, authorization, authentication, and life cycle management to support our customers as Amazon continues to scale and grow.

We are looking for software professionals from diverse backgrounds, who are creative problem solvers, and passionate about delivering solutions that improve both user experience and security. We are a global team and have a culture of learning from each other. We don't expect people to join our team knowing everything. We want people who are excited to learn, to challenge the status quo, and who are energized by building highly scalable and available systems on a global scale.

The EUSC Operations team runs a 24/7/365 operation, and on-call support will be required as part of this role. You would join the on-call rotation approximately once every 4–6 weeks. Our team values work-life harmony. Being part of a 24/7/365 on-call rotation is an important aspect of maintaining operational excellence in this role, and we understand that striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life is crucial to your happiness and success here. On-call rotations are structured to be manageable — occurring roughly once every 4–6 weeks — so that you can stay engaged and effective without feeling overburdened. We encourage members of the team to use personal time as needed to cultivate this balance and to promote a productive and well-balanced life — both in and outside of work.

This role requires you to be a national of an EU member state. Amazon will provide relocation support for successful applicants relocating within the European Union.
