Key job responsibilities
You will be responsible for developing a product that captures and analyzes security telemetry from Aurora and RDS databases and surfaces security findings to our customers. You will also be responsible for developing and operating agentic AI solutions that use that security telemetry to troubleshoot and mitigate security threats. This product operates on millions of instances and helps our customers monitor and protect their databases.

This is an area that requires solving the hardest engineering challenges in distributed systems at massive scale. As a customer-facing AWS service, our solutions have to be solid, scalable, efficient, and highly fault tolerant. You will be responsible for all aspects of engineering, including development, testing, and deployment of these services. AWS operates large-scale, mission-critical workloads, so you need to be comfortable taking ownership of the operational excellence of your service.

Finally, you're excited by the opportunity to learn about and help solve our customers' challenges. In order to break new ground, we'll need to resolve ambiguity and innovate on behalf of our customers. You understand that being passionate about an idea is different than taking it personally, and you believe that debate makes strong ideas even stronger.
