DESCRIPTION
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
The Infrastructure Security Team is responsible for the security and risk management of the AWS Infrastructure. We build systems that detect, assess, and mitigate risk across the global infrastructure and are accountable for keeping the Amazon Infrastructure secure and compliant with customer requirements. The Infrastructure Security Compliance organization is looking for a Software Engineer to join our dynamic, outcome-driven team. The successful candidate is an owner who can deliver through high performing, diverse teams and who understands all parts of security, software development, deployment, and operations. You must possess strong technical software background, a strong security mindset, strong verbal and written communication skills, be self-driven, demonstrate high impact and influence across teams, and deliver high quality results in a fast-paced environment. We’re looking for leaders who can lead through challenges and seek to shed light on ambiguity. If that is you, Amazon is the place to be as we solve hard problems, make history, and have fun.
Key job responsibilities
You will aid in the development, assessment, and analysis of security outcomes for AWS Infrastructure (networking, supply chain security and/or data center compliance) in accordance with NIST, FedRAMP, ISO and AWS standards.
Lead in the development of monitoring and reporting capabilities for continued security compliance.
