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.

And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

　　Amazon is looking for Systems Development Engineers to build and scale the systems and software for the security of the world’s largest and most complex networks. Tens of millions of customers rely on Amazon’s network for using retail websites, accessing content on their Kindles and building applications and businesses on top of Amazon Web Services (AWS). AWS goal is to become The Infrastructure Platform for the world – achieving this goal requires security at every layer and massively scalable software systems. The engineers within our team are instrumental in to help drive the stability and sustainability of AWS next-generation networks and to discover innovative ways to automate and scale network as AWS expands globally. This position is located in Minneapolis, MN.

　　Systems Development Engineers are expected to develop best practices, refine operational procedures and constantly innovate proactively. You will continuously identify areas of growth within the existing frameworks, tools and processes to develop further technical mechanisms to reduce waste and continuously improve. Our ideal candidate is autonomous, detail oriented, possesses strong written and verbal communication skills and has experience working at scale.

　　This is an excellent opportunity to join Amazon's world class technical teams, working with some of the best and brightest engineers while also developing your skills and furthering your career within one of the most innovative and progressive technology companies anywhere.

　　Solving problems at scale excites you.

　　You are interested in being part of a high-bar team with global responsibility for the Network Security software used across all of Amazon’s businesses.

　　You do not implement specs from analysts and architects – you talk to customers and design solutions to their problems. You automate and innovate.

　　You believe that the craft of software engineering is about writing code right the first time. For you, code reviews and automated testing are not chores – they are a core part of writing great software.

　　You do not throw your code over the wall. You launch it, own it, support it and make it incrementally better for the benefit of customers.

　　You enjoy working in a flexible, fast-paced, collaborative team environment.
