The AWS Identity team is looking for a seasoned software developer engineer to innovate and build solutions for identity, authentication, and authorization in the AWS cloud. This role focuses on developing high-performing, reliable systems that leverage automated reasoning to enhance customer access control. You will work in a collaborative environment, mentoring junior developers and influencing technology direction. The position offers the opportunity to drive mission-critical projects and deliver impactful changes to AWS.

  • 3+ years of experience in computer science fundamentals including object-oriented design, data structures, algorithm design, problem solving, and complexity analysis
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design, implementation, and deployment of systems and services.
  • Define secure and scalable solutions for data collection, data processing, machine learning, and customer-facing APIs.
  • Develop and incorporate machine learning and automated reasoning techniques into customer capabilities.
  • Collaborate efficiently with scientists, engineers on other teams, and product managers to deliver impactful projects.
  • Decompose complex problems into simple, straightforward solutions while working through system interdependencies and limitations.
  • Share knowledge of effective performance, scalability, architecture, and engineering patterns and methods.
  • Learn and apply new skills regularly while working on critical systems in AWS.

  • 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.
