Description

　　Global Services Security (GSS) Engineering is a centralized development team that makes security simpler for all AWS customers. We believe in constantly improving the way in which our users experience security through the innovations that we drive. To achieve this, we collaborate with various businesses to understand customer needs and then design, implement, and support new services that let customers operate at the speed of business.

　　Are you excited about designing and implementing brand-new, globally scalable services that simplify security for customers? Do you want to shape how customers perceive security? Are you interested in applying emerging technologies to solve customer challenges?

　　If so, join our team. We were among the first teams in AWS to develop and launch a fully serverless application available globally to our customers. Now, we recognize that new technologies like AI/ML can transform how the world approaches security. GSS continuously ensures that we use the most suitable technology to solve problems, allowing the services we build to have minimal operational burden and scale to meet the needs of our global customer base.

　　Key job responsibilities

　　This role offers a great opportunity to develop services that enhance security for AWS's global customer base. As a technical individual contributor, you'll join a growing team of talented engineers to design, implement and operate our services.

　　A day in the life

　　You will collaborate with others on the engineering team to perform day-to-day development activities, and participate in designs, design reviews, code reviews, and implementation. You will own the delivery of an integral piece of a system or application. You will also coach and mentor others on the team.

　　About the team

　　GSS Engineering is a globally distributed team driving AWS's new security growth initiatives. Our vision is to secure the world's workloads and create a brighter future for humanity. We work with customers and partners to develop security solutions that enable our service teams to deliver the right products and features.
