About The Position

The Customer Service Application Security team seeks a talented Software
Development Engineer (SDE) to build innovative security solutions that automate
our security processes and build preventive and detective application security
systems to secure applications and data. Our mission is to make security
invisible — building paved path solutions that enable developers to ship secure
code quickly and continuously without sacrificing speed or innovation.

You'll architect and develop native AWS solutions using technologies like LLMs,
prompt engineering, security frameworks, application security controls, and
threat detection mechanisms that improve security posture and increase builder
productivity. You will build reusable security libraries, tools, and frameworks
that serve as paved paths, making the secure path the easy path for developers
across the business unit.

You'll have the opportunity to: 1) work with state-of-the-art AI technologies;
2) design and implement preventive and detective security systems; 3) partner
with developers to embed security early in the SDLC; 4) collaborate with
security experts across Amazon; and 5) influence security culture across a major
business unit by building tools used by hundreds of developers.

Join our team as a force multiplier for our organization's security posture
while advancing your career at the intersection of software, AI, and
cybersecurity.
