Software Development Engineer II, AFSS Identity

About the Role

As a Software Development Engineer II in the Amazon Foundational Security Services (AFSS) organization at AWS, you will have the opportunity to shape the future of AWS's identity management landscape. We provide the critical infrastructure that powers Amazon's vast range of services, enabling them to deliver for customers across the globe.

We own the identity directory and system-account foundation for Amazon Foundational Security Services (AFSS). Our services are the substrate beneath every security pillar at Amazon: the directory that answers roughly 20 billion identity and infrastructure lookups per day across every AWS region and partition, and the system-account and credential lifecycle that keeps tens of thousands of machine identities secure and continuously rotated at scale. Teams across Amazon depend on us to authenticate, authorize, and attribute both human and machine access correctly, every time.

This job requires an array of technical talents: system design, software development, customer service, hard prioritization, and making good decisions. At heart, you will be required to solve hard problems correctly.

What You Will Do

• Work on complex challenges in existing and new development initiatives, focusing on areas with ambiguity
• Design and develop software systems that are secure, maintainable, scalable, and extendable

• In situations with differing viewpoints, strive to find the best way forward and build consensus
