Amazon
Seattle, WA Full Time
POSTED ON 1/11/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 3/11/2025

DESCRIPTION

Are you passionate about enterprise-wide scale compliance management? Are you excited about impactful technical projects that help our biggest enterprise customers manage hundreds of accounts with over a million resources across multiple regions? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the pioneer and recognized leader in the Cloud. Our web services provide a platform for IT infrastructure that is used by hundreds of thousands of developers and businesses around the world. These customers range from start-ups to leading web companies to Global 500 companies in financial services, healthcare, and technology.

AWS Config is the foundation service that customers rely on to manage the configuration and compliance for their cloud resources. AWS Config Rules builds atop Config to help customers audit and automatically mitigate their technical infrastructure and resources, e.g. checking the readability of S3 buckets and automatically applying missing security policies where needed.

We are looking for a passionate Software Development Engineer who will work with an outstanding development team to create high scale distributed services that expand the reach and functionality of Config. In this role, you will own solutions from design and execution through deployment and support, using the best of available tools, including EC2 Native, Lambda, DynamoDB, and ElasticSearch. You will be responsible for holding the code quality high, even as we optimize our development processes to better serve our customers, and will be expected to mentor and guide junior engineers. You should be invested in helping our enterprise customers enforce IT policies and best practices across their applications on AWS and beyond, understanding that it is important to pair infrastructure with the ability to properly manage it at scale. Most importantly, you should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where delivery of new products and features is very rapid. AWS Config is one of the most critical requirements for large enterprises moving to AWS
