The position emphasizes the importance of security in maintaining customer trust and delivering exceptional experiences.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience of new and existing systems.
  • 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
  • 3+ years of programming experience using a modern programming language such as Java, C++, or C#.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent.
  • Experience with the full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations.

Responsibilities

  • Build and operate services that enhance Amazon's security.
  • Transform large volumes of security data into actionable insights.
  • Collaborate with team members to address security challenges.
  • Participate in the full software development life cycle.

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.
