Job description

The Software Development Engineer will join the Platform Engineering and Emerging Technologies (PEET) team to support the development of AWS Secret Cloud for Industry. This role focuses on designing, building, deploying, and monitoring features to enhance user experience for customers. The position involves working with innovative cloud computing technologies to solve complex technical problems for U.S. Government agencies. Candidates must be adaptable and willing to obtain a TS/SCI security clearance.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent.
  • 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience.
  • 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture experience of new and existing systems.
  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language.
  • 3+ years of full software development life cycle experience, including coding standards and operations.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, deploy, and monitor components of the AWS Secret Cloud for Industry service.
  • Participate in on-call responsibilities, typically for one week in every six.
  • Work collaboratively to resolve root causes of issues to prevent recurrence.

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.
