Job description

The AWS InfraSec-HLS team is seeking a Software Development Engineer II to design, build, and operate software that secures devices across the AWS network. This role involves owning features end-to-end and mentoring other engineers while pushing for better operational practices. The team focuses on ensuring that only verified and trusted devices participate in the AWS network, working at the intersection of cryptography, hardware security, and large-scale distributed systems. Candidates should be comfortable making design decisions and balancing short-term needs with long-term health.

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 software development engineer or related occupational experience
  • 1+ years of designing and developing large-scale, multi-tiered, multi-threaded, embedded or distributed software applications using C#, C++, Java, or Perl
  • 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
  • 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

  • Design and deliver software features spanning major portions of the team's systems.
  • Own the full software development lifecycle including scoping, design, implementation, testing, deployment, operations, and documentation.
  • Identify root causes of operational issues and resolve them with permanent fixes.
  • Provide meaningful code review feedback to peers and use review as a coaching mechanism.
  • Document how the team's software is constructed, tested, operated, and secured.
  • Work with customers, stakeholders, and peers to understand business and customer value.
  • Make priority tradeoffs between new feature development and operational work.
  • Participate in on-call rotation to support the services owned by the team.

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.
