The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Proactive Security Detective Tooling (PSDT) team is looking for a Software Development Engineer who has a strong passion for security-at-scale. You will work on a team dedicated to building services that monitor AWS network hosts and their configurations. We develop the tools that keep AWS safe from malicious actors, preventing, detecting, and mitigation security events. We work closely with our Application Security, Threat Intel, Security Operations, and Security Analyst teams, to drive security improvements across AWS.

The AWS Proactive Security Detective Tooling team is responsible for the security and availability of all of the services offered by AWS, including EC2, S3, and more than 100 others. This is a high visibility team that solves security challenges at a massive scale through automation.

Our team deals with immense quantities of data, pushing the envelope on scale and various advanced analytical techniques to find and mitigate security threats. You’ll be expected to develop robust large scale distributed systems for processing data, and to provide technical leadership to other engineers to do the same. While you may not be a security expert just yet, you have a passion for solving security challenges in innovative ways. You’ll develop a broad and deep understanding of the overall AWS security posture and develop many of the core technology components to improve and scale.

Key job responsibilities
In this role you will -
· Be a technical leader that is not afraid to challenge the norms and innovate.
· Own, drive, and deliver software solutions
· Execute against project plans and delivery commitments.
· Develop relationships with internal and external partner teams to move fast.
· Help establish the long-term success strategy for your systems, development best practices, and operational excellence processes.
· Collaborate with peers to ensure your strategies are in alignment with the rest of the development teams.
· Develop junior and new team members by mentoring them on multiple fronts.

About the team
The mission of the Network Security team within AWS PSDT is to ensure all network endpoints meet the AWS Security bar. This requires building large distributed systems that are capable of auditing internally-owned network hosts for potential misconfigurations. This team also develops solutions that drive remediation of network host misconfigurations at AWS-scale, ensuring that AWS remains secure for our customers.
