Dedicated Cloud Engineer , ADC System Security Engineering Security Clearance

Position: Dedicated Cloud Engineer I, ADC System Security Engineering with Security Clearance
Description Come join a security team who focuses on ease of use and delighting our customers to build and support security services, used across all of Amazon, that secure our internal systems and networks. At Amazon Web Services (AWS), Security is our highest priority. Our team is responsible for inventing, scaling, and operating the foundational security services used across Amazon to secure our systems, processes, and data.

We build authentication, authorization, and enforcement services that are used across our diverse internal teams as they build and deliver services for our customers. We support all of  and AWS with our services, and need solution-oriented thinkers who are passionate about solving problems at scale, thinking through edge cases, and iterating quickly to delight our customers. Are you a good fit for our team?
You'll love this team if you are passionate about security, and curious how we design security into the cloud and Amazon infrastructure from the minute a server hits our data center through how we securely administer and operate services. At Amazon, we are looking for engineers who know how to think through a problem, be creative, and who think outside the box in ways that benefit our customers.

The focus we have on our customers is why we are one of the world's most beloved brands - it is part of our company DNA. Our Engineers (you!) are obsessed with customer trust, building solutions that address real world risks, and thinking deeply about how humans use security systems to build elegant security that users love to use. We are looking for people who bring diverse perspectives, ask a lot of questions, and challenge the status quo.

We are a team of out-of-the-box thinkers, who iterate quickly, and think deeply about how to build secure systems that are easy to use. This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph. The position further requires the candidate to opt into a commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.

Key job responsibilities
In this role you will join an established and rapidly growing Dev Ops engineering team who is maintaining an existing security service while expanding the deployment, features, and capabilities to address significant new initiatives across the company. You will:

- Build, deploy, and maintain security services that are used internally to support the US intelligence community.

- Work backwards from the customer to ensure our services are developed with features that meet the needs of our end users. A day in the life
We work across the company on services that are always-on; the company depends on us. To perform our best, we value work/life harmony, flexible schedules, and unscheduled time to brain storm. We support established, and rapidly growing services, with a Dev Ops model, so you will be part of an on-call rotation every couple of months. Our challenges and goals are ambitious, often ambiguous, and we sometimes try things that don't work.

We embrace the learnings from failure and iterate quickly. We emphasize shipping rapidly, using automated releases and testing to deploy frequently, and deeply root causing issues to ensure that we stay fast. Almost all of our team works from home these days, but typically we are together in the office collaborating around a whiteboard, planning over coffee, or playing a video game during downtime.
