Amazon Security is seeking a software development engineer to join a team focused on leveraging vast amounts of security data to enhance Amazon's security services. The role involves building and operating services that transform security data into actionable insights. Candidates are encouraged to bring diverse experiences and ideas to this security-critical team. Amazon values work-life balance and offers opportunities for career growth and development.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience of new and existing systems
  • 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications using C#, C++, Java, or Perl
  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language
  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience

Responsibilities

  • Build and operate services that power Amazon's security.
  • Transform large amounts of security data into useful knowledge and action.
  • Collaborate with a diverse team to address security challenges.
  • Maintain high standards for security across all of Amazon’s products and services.

Benefits

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
