AWS Pentest Tooling Team operates across AWS to deliver pentests in fast, innovative and secure fashion. Our mission is to scale penetration testing by enabling pentesters to focus on hard problems. Our team builds the tooling and processes to help identify, track and mitigate potential security risks. We are looking for a highly motivated full stack software engineer to help build and scale security automations.

You will be involved in all parts of a software developer lifecycle - including software & system designing, coding, troubleshooting, testing, doing code reviews, testing, deployment and service maintenance. You'll design and build both client-side and server-side applications, create analytical workflows on latest platforms, and ensure seamless user experiences while maintaining robust backend functionality. Beyond coding, you'll participate in system design, troubleshooting, code reviews, testing, deployment, and service maintenance. You have strong verbal and written communication skills, are self-driven, and can deliver high quality results in a fast-paced environment. You will work across Amazon engineering teams and business teams across the globe in planning, designing, executing and implementing this new platform across multiple geographies.
