About The Position

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Proactive Security Detective Tooling (PSDT) team
is looking for a Software Development Engineer who has a strong passion for
security-at-scale. You will work on a team dedicated to taking our internal
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Cloud-Native Application Protection
Platform (CNAPP) to the next level. You will develop a software analysis
platform that provides critical visibility into the security of AWS systems for
AWS leaders. You will develop novel ways to drive remediation and
post-remediation activity of security issues on a large scale. While you may not
be a security expert just yet, in this role you will develop a broad and deep
understanding of cloud security and security automation.

Each day, hundreds of thousands of developers make billions of transactions
worldwide on our cloud. They harness the power of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to
enable innovative applications, websites, and businesses. The AWS Security team
owns security for all of these services offered by AWS, including EC2, S3,
Lambda, and more than 150 others. Our Application Security team works with
builders across AWS to ensure that AWS products are secure.

The mission of this team within AWS PSDT is to ensure all we drive the
remediation of security issues across internal AWS services teams. This requires
building large distributed systems that are capable of driving remediation of
security issues without scaling out our Security Operations teams. We regularly
work with AWS service teams and various AWS Security teams to deliver on our
mission.
