Software Development Engineer, AWS Security
We are seeking a Software Development Engineer to help build secure, scalable services and tools that protect cloud-based platforms and the customers who rely on them. In this role, you will work across the software development lifecycle, from design and implementation through testing, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement. You will collaborate with security specialists, software engineers, product managers, and operations teams to identify risks, develop effective solutions, and deliver reliable security capabilities.
Your responsibilities will include designing and developing distributed systems, automation, and security-focused applications; improving the detection, prevention, and response to security threats; and creating maintainable, well-tested code. You will contribute to technical design reviews, investigate complex production issues, and help establish engineering standards for security, reliability, performance, and operational excellence. You will also be expected to document technical decisions, mentor colleagues, and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. The role may involve working with identity and access management, encryption, vulnerability management, logging, monitoring, incident response, and secure software development practices.
The successful candidate will have professional experience developing software in one or more modern programming languages, such as Java, Python, Go, C++, or JavaScript, along with a strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, object-oriented design, and software engineering principles. Experience building distributed or cloud-based systems and familiarity with secure coding, threat modelling, automated testing, and continuous integration and delivery are highly valued. You should be comfortable solving ambiguous problems, working independently, and contributing effectively within a collaborative team. A degree in computer science, engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience, is preferred. Knowledge of security architecture, networking, operating systems, or compliance frameworks would be advantageous.
