Job description

As a Software Development Engineer II on the Remediation Engineering Team at AWS, you will design, build, and operate services that address vulnerabilities across AWS at scale. The team focuses on automating mitigation, remediation, and assessment processes to enhance security without manual intervention. You will work closely with security engineers to develop tools that streamline investigation and remediation workflows. This role requires a strong understanding of distributed systems and a commitment to operational excellence.

Requirements

  • 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
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
  • Experience in security, vulnerability management, or host/container infrastructure

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and operate services that mitigate and remediate vulnerabilities across AWS fleets.
  • Build contextualization that prioritizes risk for service teams to act on critical vulnerabilities first.
  • Own the full lifecycle of your software, including requirements, design reviews, implementation, and testing.
  • Develop tooling that security engineers use for investigation and remediation workflows.
  • Ensure changes to production hosts and containers are safe, reversible, and observable.
  • Raise the bar on operational excellence through metrics and continuous improvement.
  • Mentor other engineers and contribute to the team's technical direction.

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.
