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.

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:
You will work with software developers, senior leaders, principal engineers, product managers, and security specialists to build, deploy, and operate a globally distributed cryptographic security service.
