Do you have a passion for innovation and building technologies that make large-scale clouds more reliable, efficient, and scalable? Would you like to work within the most advanced and scaled clouds that support the most critical workloads for the US Intelligence and Defense communities? Do you want to build automation that will influence the national security and defense mission agency partners of AWS?
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.
The Regions Services Corporate Infrastructure (RSCI) org is looking for a Security focused Systems Developer to automate validation that our services, applications, and infrastructure are designed and implemented to the highest security standards. Similarly, our highly collaborative team is committed to each team member’s growth as our business grows.
You are expected to be strong in multiple security domains and provide contributions to the Engineering team and to multiple groups throughout Amazon. You are expected to closely work with service teams to develop secure solutions to complex business problems and ensure we are holding a high security bar for our customers.
You must foster constructive dialogue and seek resolution when confronted with discordant views. Engineers in this role are expected to participate fully in the planning of the org’s team work and constantly seek opportunities for process improvement. You should also have a deep understanding of at least one specialty for which you are a sought – out resource (both within IT Security and by groups throughout Amazon), while having an understanding of the application of Information Security in a broad range of technical areas.
You will have a keen eye for potential problems and inefficiencies, and the initiative and drive to provide a complete solution to the problem. You will communicate clearly and collaborate with others to deliver results with minimal supervision. This leader must be able to dive deep into the details of business, operations, and engineering.
By working together on behalf of our customers, we are building the future one innovative product, service, and idea at a time. Are you ready to embrace the challenge? Come build the future with us.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
Utility Computing (UC)
AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (IoT), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.
Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
Work/Life Balance
We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.
