Software Development Manager, AWS Proactive Security

AWS Security is seeking a Software Development Manager to build automation that finds security issues in AWS systems. You will manage a software analysis platform that provides critical visibility into the security of AWS systems for AWS leaders.

While you may not be a security expert just yet, in this role you will develop a broad and deep understanding of cloud security and security automation.

Each day, hundreds of thousands of developers make billions of transactions worldwide on our cloud. They harness the power of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enable innovative applications, websites, and businesses.

The AWS Security team owns security for all of these services offered by AWS, including EC2, S3, Lambda, and more than 150 others.

Our Application Security team works with builders across AWS to ensure that AWS products are secure. We dive deep into security technologies such as new authentication systems, hardware security components, cryptography, system hardening, and massive-scale audit analysis.

Key job responsibilities

This is a role that combines robust software development of scalable systems, software security, and advanced analysis of systems at scale.

You will lead a team of engineers who build tools that automatically detect security issues in AWS systems.

About the team

Our systems must be scalable to support a large and growing developer population that is innovating quickly. We help AWS developers build security into their systems, and we help AWS Security personnel verify that systems are secure.

Our tools target all types of AWS systems in a range of domains including web services, IoT, robotics, hypervisors, and cryptography.
