Front-End Engineer II, Perimeter Protection (Anti-DDoS)

Job ID:
| Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc. - B02
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running.

We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.

We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we're looking for talented people who want to help.


You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles.

You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers.

And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.


In AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF), our job is to make it easy for customers to help protect their web applications from attacks by allowing them to configure rules that allow, block, or monitor (count) web requests based on conditions that they define.

We also generate detection logic that helps automatically protect customers from bad actors and automated traffic to their applications.

By supporting associations with CloudFront, Application Load Balancer, and API Gateway customers can protect their applications and resources whether all in on the cloud, maintaining on premise data centers, or using a hybrid cloud approach.


We build a highly available, low latency distributed system that allows customers to propagate changes worldwide in minutes to respond to active attacks in real-time.

We're fully integrated with several others AWS Services to give customers the insight and control they need.

We give customers the visibility they need to see which requests were blocked, allowed, or counted and what rule was matched on a given request.

Customers can store their full WAF logs for compliance and auditing as well as use them for debugging and additional forensics.

Using CloudFormation customers can automate the deployment of their WAF on the AWS cloud.

You will play a lead role on the team and influence how we design, develop, build, deploy and support AWS WAF Console.

To be successful in the role, you must be able to research, innovate and create unique solutions. There is no precedent to follow in this problem space. You will be involved from inception to deployment and beyond. You'll interact with our customers, gathering requirements, designing, implementing, testing and supporting the product operationally; soup to nuts.

You will be expected to use your technical background and have a significant impact on the direction of AWS WAF customer experience as well as new services and features that we develop in the future.

We own the direct customer experience as well as the per request processing of rules for CloudFront, API Gateway, and ALB.

Not only do we build an AWS security service, but we're a customer of AWS using other AWS services to provide the solutions to our customers that scale and seamlessly integrate with their existing workflows.

Engineers on our team get to solve some of the hardest computer science problems including building highly available distributed micro-services, global scaling across both AWS Regions and CloudFront edge locations, and processing millions of requests with single digit millisecond latency.

About the team
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.

Amazon values diverse experiences.

Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply.

If your career is just starting, hasn't followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don't let it stop you from applying.

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.

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 (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

We're continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth's Best Employer.

That's why you'll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional.
