The Software Development Engineer II role at Amazon Security involves designing and building systems that enhance security for Amazon's diverse businesses. The team focuses on tackling high-impact problems at the intersection of software engineering, security, and applied machine learning. Candidates will work closely with senior engineers and security specialists, influencing how Amazon operates its software. This position offers opportunities for growth into an engineering leader while delivering high-quality software solutions.

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
  • 1+ years of Object Oriented Design experience
  • Bachelor's degree or foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience

Responsibilities

  • Design and build well-architected services and tools that enhance security across Amazon.
  • Collaborate with engineers, applied scientists, and security specialists to solve ambiguous, high-impact problems.
  • Deliver end-to-end features that integrate cloud back-end services on AWS and modern developer experiences.
  • Mentor other engineers and help grow their technical skills and security intuition.
  • Own the quality bar for your area, including design reviews, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Participate in the operational excellence of the services you build, including monitoring and continuous improvement.

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.
