Join to apply for the
Senior Software Developer Engineer, AWS Compliance & Security Assurance
role at
Amazon Web Services (AWS) .
The AWS Compliance & Security Assurance Engineering team is in the business of building customer trust. We are responsible for scaling AWS's ability to exceed the security and compliance expectations of our regulators, auditors, and customers globally. We design and build services that stand up to the scrutiny of external regulators and inspection by AWS's most security-sensitive customers. We leverage Generative AI to enhance our security and compliance capabilities. We are a multidisciplinary team comprising software engineers, security engineers, technical product/program managers, data engineers, and compliance specialists. If you are looking for an opportunity to think big, invent, experiment, build, and have a material impact on cloud security and compliance, this is it.
Key Job Responsibilities As a Senior Software Engineer on our team, you will influence projects or initiatives that span across multiple products and/or teams. You will build and own internal services that identify and monitor security/compliance‑relevant attributes of key infrastructure. A key focus will be implementing Generative AI solutions to automate and scale our audit execution workflows, making the process more efficient and consistent. You will streamline and scale execution of security and compliance audits/examinations of AWS services, and expand our ability to continuously monitor key security functions. You will demonstrate a high bar for engineering excellence, lead the technical strategy, and provide technical advisory for adjacent teams. You will write code that works at Amazon scale, mentor SDEs, contribute to solving complex engineering problems as well as business problems, and understand and improve our agile processes to help us evolve a vision of compliance and security at AWS.
In This Role You Will
Design and implement agentic AI‑based solutions that automate complex workflows and improve the efficiency of manually intensive operations, transforming how we handle compliance and security processes.
Write high-quality code with thorough test coverage as you mentor other developers so they can learn from your CRs.
Find out what it takes to engineer systems for "Amazon Scale".
Realize that making software work is just the start and you value talking about cattle‑vs‑pets, continuous resiliency and capacity testing.
Truly care about designing highly available, secure, distributed systems of microservices, then you will make them even better by consulting with peers and technical leaders.
Work on Agile projects that have high visibility while making continuous improvements to planning, design, implementation, testing, and operations processes.
Have full ownership and operate the systems that you build based on real‑time customer data and demanding service‑level agreements.

In Amazon Security, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Ongoing DEI events and learning experiences inspire us to continue learning and to embrace our uniqueness.
