Software Development Engineer II, New Security Service

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

Our team's mission is to help customers manage their network security complexity with ease. We're looking for a lead full-stack engineer to shape the development of a new, greenfield product that radically improves on this mission by offering an Agentic experience to help customers meet their security needs. This project is a novel application of AI that goes beyond current industry standards.

As a developer, you will shape how we design, develop, build, deploy, and support this exciting new product. You will work closely with your team, mentoring and supporting other team members, and ensuring the results we deliver our customers are of the highest quality.
