Description

AWS Route 53 Resolver team has an open position for Software Development Engineer for Cloud security service development in Arlington, VA / Herndon, VA / Seattle, WA, USA.

We’re looking for a mid-level Software Developer to join the AWS Route 53 team to build zero trust network access capabilities for AWS customers. As a member of the team, you’ll work on cloud-native security platform to protect enterprise customers from cyberattacks and data loss. This is your chance to build cloud security service and help AWS customers to establish a zero trust environment for their employees, customers, and partners.

As an SDE, you will be responsible for designing, developing, testing, and deploying zero trust systems. You will collaborate closely with a team of engineers to influence our overall strategy and define the team’s roadmap. You will also help drive the system architecture, spearhead best practices that enable a quality product, and help coach and develop junior engineers. A successful candidate will have an established background in engineering large scale networking software, great communication skills, and a motivation to achieve results in a fast paced environment.

At Amazon Web Services, we like to “work backwards”: start by understanding what customers need and using that to guide our software engineering. We’re looking for a software engineer who is experienced in listening to customers, synthesizing their needs, and rapidly iterating our services to quickly put features into customers’ hands. Our best ideas become even better when we get feedback from real customer use. The sooner we can get that feedback, the more quickly we can grow.

This position will be part of the Amazon Route 53 team. Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) service offered by Amazon Web Services. We operate in over 50 locations worldwide and provide advanced functionality such as Private DNS, DNS Firewall, DNS resolver and integration with a plethora of AWS services. On top of that, we offer fast change propagation with a 100% availability SLA. Our service is quickly growing and we're expanding in multiple directions: adding new features and functionality to our DNS services, better traffic management, new AWS integrations, improving our health check capabilities, and expanding with new security services and routing space.

We work on deep, technical problems that span a variety of core topics in computer science ranging from databases to networking to distributed systems to numerical analysis to security. We are looking for a developer who will lead the team and who feels strongly not only about building good software but also about running that software in the real world.

Amazon in a fast-paced environment where we “Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History.” On a typical day, software engineers might whip up a prototype to prove an idea, instrument code to report a new metric, talk with customers, code up a feature, or draft a proposal for a radical new idea.
