Software Dev Engineer II, Customer Service Security

Overview

The Customer Service Application Security team seeks a talented Software Development Engineer (SDE) to build innovative security solutions that automate our security processes and build preventive and detective application security systems to secure applications and data. Our mission is to make security invisible - building paved path solutions that enable developers to ship secure code quickly and continuously without sacrificing speed or innovation.

You will architect and develop native AWS solutions using technologies like LLMs, prompt engineering, security frameworks, application security controls, and threat detection mechanisms to improve security posture and increase builder productivity. You will build reusable security libraries, tools, and frameworks that serve as paved paths, making the secure path the easy path for developers across the business unit.

You'll have the opportunity to:
1) work with state-of-the-art AI technologies;
2) design and implement preventive and detective security systems;
3) partner with developers to embed security early in the SDLC;
4) collaborate with security experts across Amazon; and
5) influence security culture across a major business unit by building tools used by hundreds of developers. Join our team as a force multiplier for our organization's security posture while advancing your career at the intersection of software, AI, and cybersecurity.
