Description

Are you excited about building large, complex systems that are highly innovative, flexible, and scalable? Do you want to build the security systems that protect hundreds of millions of customers across one of the world's largest technology companies?

Security challenges at Amazon Customer Service scale — spanning hundreds of millions of customer interactions, sensitive personal data, and a globally distributed associate workforce — demand a passion for engineering robust solutions and the ability to deploy countermeasures against an ever-evolving threat landscape. We are seeking Software Engineers committed to protecting customer data and building effective defenses against the constantly shifting methodologies of modern cyberattacks.

At Amazon's Discovery & Countermeasures Engineering (DiCE) team, you'll design and deploy technology that detects threats in real-time and responds before they impact customer trust. You will work with security experts and data scientists to build intelligent systems that identify emerging threats through machine learning and anomaly detection, then orchestrate automated responses that keep Amazon and our customers safe. Members of this team have a high degree of fluency in one or more languages and tools. They work with a focus on simplicity and performance. As a Software Development Engineer, you will have an enormous opportunity to make a large impact on the design, architecture, and implementation of products used every day, by people you know.


Key job responsibilities
- Own the full lifecycle of security detection and response systems, from architecture through production deployment.
- Design detection systems that leverage machine learning and anomaly detection to identify threats at scale.
- Build scalable applications that process security events in real-time and automate threat mitigation.
- Prototype and validate solutions to emerging security challenges, moving from concept to production quickly.
- Collaborate with security operations teams, incident responders, and stakeholders to translate requirements into robust systems.
- Prioritize simplicity and performance in everything you build.
- Communicate clearly with peers and technical leadership on complex security challenges.
