About The Position

What happens when you combine startup speed with Amazon-scale impact? You get
this team. Amazon Enterprise Security Products is a newly launched group
building intelligent, cloud-agnostic security tools using AI-first development
practices. Here, you build AI and you build with AI — at the same time. This
role offers a unique opportunity to expand your AI engineering toolkit in a
production environment where experimentation and rapid iteration aren't just
encouraged—they're how we operate. It's a chance to shape the future of security
tooling with a small, fast team that ships like a startup and deploys like
Amazon.

Amazon Enterprise Security Products is built by builders who tackle challenges
others might consider too ambitious. We're a small team where there are no
layers between you and the decision, no waiting quarters to see your work reach
customers. Every team member brings an owner's mentality. If there's a problem
worth solving, we solve it. No mission is beyond reach, no detail beneath our
attention. We move fast, we ship fast, and we learn from what we ship. This is
where builders who want to make the impossible routine come to do their best
work.

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.

In Amazon Security, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Ongoing DEI
events and learning experiences inspire us to continue learning and to embrace
our uniqueness. Addressing the toughest security challenges requires that we
seek out and celebrate a diversity of ideas, perspectives, and voices.

We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s
Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, training, and
other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded
professional.

We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the
expense of sacrifices at home, which is why flexible work hours and arrangements
are part of our culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve.

Requirements

• 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
• 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
• 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications, tools, systems, and services using: C#, C++, Java, or Perl experience
• Experience in AI assisted or agentic coding practices

Nice To Haves

• 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
• Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
• Experience building agentic coding processes (Ralph loop, parallelized agentic development, etc.)

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and ship AI-powered security products: Own the full lifecycle from architecture through production deployment of large-scale, multi-tiered distributed systems that protect AWS Customers. Leverage agentic AI development practices to accelerate every phase.
• Engineer end-to-end, full-stack experiences: Build across the entire stack with intuitive front-end interfaces, robust back-end services and REST APIs, and intelligent middleware. Deploy on AWS while designing for cloud-agnostic, multi-cloud environments so customers are protected wherever they operate.
• Plan, estimate, and drive delivery: Lead implementation planning, effort estimation, and phased rollouts across systems and operations; you own outcomes with the autonomy and accountability expected in a high-trust startup environment.
• Prototype rapidly and innovate relentlessly: Validate hypotheses with customers, iterate quickly, and bring a builder's mindset every day. The best idea wins here regardless of where it comes from.
• Partner across disciplines: Work directly with security researchers, applied scientists, product managers, and UX designers to shape product direction and turn customer needs into technical solutions. Small team means short lines between you and the decision.
• Own operational excellence: Participate in on-call rotations, drive root-cause analysis, and continuously raise the bar on reliability, performance, and security of the systems you build. You ship it, you run it..
• Elevate the team — and yourself: Contribute to technical reviews, mentor teammates, and champion AI-first development practices. You'll build the engineering culture of a fast-growing team from the ground floor, and in the process become the kind of engineer who has shaped a product, scaled an organization, and defined how modern security software gets built.
