Software Development Engineer, AWS Private CA

Job ID: 2803469 | Amazon Web Services, Inc.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of Amazon’s fastest growing businesses. We are passionate about thinking big, innovating on behalf of our customers, and tackling problems at scale. Cloud computing is disrupting, and we are seeking talented, entrepreneurial-minded individuals to join us as we continue to build on the AWS ecosystem.

AWS Cryptography services enable customers to identify resources and establish secure network connections with other cloud and on-premises resources. Our services help customers create, manage, and deploy digital certificates based on strong cryptography and security best practices. Customers can move sensitive workloads to the cloud where they can benefit from strong identity and security controls that help meet internal and external compliance requirements. We are looking for an innovative software development engineer with an interest in information security, identity, certificates, and public key infrastructure (PKI), to build scalable, operationally excellent systems. This is an opportunity to join a new AWS service team, gain top-notch experience in cloud computing, and help bring new disruptive solutions to market at massive scale.

Our mission is to turn traditionally painful interactions into effortless and automated experiences. We work in an exciting environment where our motto is “Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History.” We do not desire to simply produce good solutions here at AWS... we want to produce disruptive, history-changing innovations. As a Software Development Engineer, your responsibilities include:

1. Building a scalable digital security system that is core to all AWS services.
2. Working as part of a team to develop secure solutions for our customers.
3. Communicating with influential customers to both explain the technology and understand requirements.
4. Owning the technology stack for one of the most secure and reliable services in all of AWS.
5. Owning the definition of best practices for the software development lifecycle including its design, implementation, testing, and operational characteristics.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future.

Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.

Key job responsibilities include:

1. Deploy and operate AWS Private CA – a public AWS service with globally distributed customers and infrastructure.
2. Automate and improve a scalable digital security service that is core to AWS customers and other AWS services.
3. Drive prioritization of deployment and operational issues in the technology stack for one of the most secure and reliable services in all of AWS.
4. Own operational metrics and support for your team’s software.
5. Work as part of a team to develop new solutions for our customers.
6. Reinforce and extend Amazon Leadership Principles across AWS and Amazon as the foundation of our unique, inclusive, innovative culture.

A day in the life involves working with software developers, senior leaders, principal engineers, product managers, and security specialists to build, deploy, and operate a globally distributed cryptographic security service. This role requires ownership, autonomy, and an ability to deliver results. You should be a self-starter with a bias towards collaborative problem solving. You will build and operate high availability cloud-based software services.
