Senior Software Developer Engineer, AWS Compliance & Security Assurance

The AWS Compliance & Security Assurance Engineering team is in the business of

building customer trust. We are responsible for scaling AWS's ability to exceed

the security and compliance expectations of our regulators, auditors, and

customers globally. We design and build services that stand up to the scrutiny

of external regulators and inspection by AWS's most security-sensitive

customers. We are a multidisciplinary team comprising software engineers,

security engineers, technical product/program managers, data engineers, and

compliance specialists. If you are looking for an opportunity to think big,

invent, experiment, build, and have a material impact on cloud security and

compliance, this is it.

As a Senior Software Engineer on our team, you will influence projects or

initiatives that span across multiple products and/or teams, you will build and

own internal services that identify and monitor security/compliance-relevant

attributes of key infrastructure, streamline and scale execution of security and

compliance audits/examinations of AWS services, and expand our ability to

continuously monitor key security functions. You will demonstrate a high bar for

engineer excellence, lead the technical strategy, and technical advisory for

adjacent teams. You will write code that works at Amazon scale, mentor SDEs,

contribute to solving complex engineering problems as well as business problems

and understand and improve our agile processes to help us evolve a vision of

compliance and security at AWS.
