Description
The AWS 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.
Key job responsibilities
In This Role You Will
Write high-quality code with thorough test coverage as you mentor other developers so they can learn from your CRs.

Truly care about designing highly available, secure, distributed systems of microservices, then you will make them even better by consulting with peers and technical leaders.
