About the job
What happens when you combine startup speed with Amazon-scale impact? You get this team. Amazon Enterprise Security Products is a newly launched group building intelligent, cloud-agnostic security tools using AI-first development practices. Here, you build AI and you build with AI — at the same time. This is not a traditional SDE role. It's a chance to shape the future of security tooling with a small, fast team that ships like a startup and deploys like Amazon.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and ship AI-powered security products: Own the full lifecycle from architecture through production deployment of large-scale, multi-tiered distributed systems that protect AWS Customers. Leverage agentic AI development practices to accelerate every phase.
Engineer end-to-end, full-stack experiences: Build across the entire stack with intuitive front-end interfaces, robust back-end services and REST APIs, and intelligent middleware. Deploy on AWS while designing for cloud-agnostic, multi-cloud environments so customers are protected wherever they operate.
Plan, estimate, and drive delivery: Lead implementation planning, effort estimation, and phased rollouts across systems and operations; you own outcomes with the autonomy and accountability expected in a high-trust startup environment.
Prototype rapidly and innovate relentlessly: Validate hypotheses with customers, iterate quickly, and bring a builder's mindset every day. The best idea wins here regardless of where it comes from.
Partner across disciplines: Work directly with security researchers, applied scientists, product managers, and UX designers to shape product direction and turn customer needs into technical solutions. Small team means short lines between you and the decision.
Own operational excellence: Participate in on-call rotations, drive root-cause analysis, and continuously raise the bar on reliability, performance, and security of the systems you build. You ship it, you run it..
Elevate the team — and yourself: Contribute to technical reviews, mentor teammates, and champion AI-first development practices. You'll build the engineering culture of a fast-growing team from the ground floor, and in the process become the kind of engineer who has shaped a product, scaled an organization, and defined how modern security software gets built.
