Description
Build the libraries, collection infrastructure, and streaming systems to make security observable across all of Amazon - capturing billions of events per second. We're hiring SDEs to work on internal frameworks, build ingestion pipelines, and own end-to-end platforms that power threat detection and AI security monitoring at scale.
Key job responsibilities
- Design and maintain client-side libraries and frameworks that instrument services with security logging at minimal developer effort.
- Build and operate distributed streaming infrastructure that collects, normalizes, and delivers security events at massive scale
- Define and evolve event schemas that balance security coverage needs against producer adoption.

- Write clean, well-tested, production-ready code with automated testing, continuous deployment, and observability as standard.
- Participate in an on-call rotation, investigating operational issues, performing root cause analysis, and driving long-term fixes.
- Mentor teammates through code reviews, design discussions, and knowledge sharing.
