Job Description:
Come and build innovative services that protect our cloud from advanced security threats!
As a Software Development Engineer on our team, you’ll help build and manage services that detect and automate the mitigation of cybersecurity threats across Amazon’s infrastructure, including advanced persistent threats. You’ll work with security engineers, data scientists, and other software development engineers across multiple teams to develop innovative security solutions at a massive scale. Our services protect the AWS cloud for all customers and help preserve our customers’ trust in us. You’ll get to use the full power and breadth of AWS technologies to build services that proactively protect every single AWS customer, both internally and externally, from security threats – not many teams can say that!
We’re looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, reliable, and able to work effectively with a diverse team of peers. We want someone who will help us amplify the positive and inclusive team culture we’ve been building.
- Successful applicants must have the legal right to work in Ireland
- This role would be office based in Dublin, Ireland. Amazon will provide relocation support for successful applicants relocating within the EU
Key job responsibilities
As a Software Development Engineer, you will leverage Amazon technology (Lambda, Kinesis, DynamoDB, etc.) to solve AWS Security problems at staggering scale. You will raise the bar on our software architecture and development practices. You will share ownership of our operational excellence, ensuring our system is properly tuned and has appropriate alarms for warning or error conditions. You will help drive our working backwards processes, inventing and simplifying on behalf of our customers. You will build security detections that identify specific security issues and automatically help customers reduce their risk through network and security controls.
On-Call Responsibility
This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months. You will also have specific on-call responsibilities to support the European Sovereign Cloud. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don’t get paged for the same issue twice.
