Senior Software Development Engineer, AWS Identity

1 month ago

New York, New York, United States Amazon Full time


The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Identity team builds, operates, and innovates the identity, authentication, and authorization stack for the AWS cloud.

Our mission is to push the technical boundaries to enable AWS customers to run their business workloads confidently and securely.

As part of this mission, we leverage customer obsession and technologies to help customers set appropriate access controls across all their AWS environments.


We are seeking a software developer engineer to be part of our team to build solutions on a global scale, own their systems end to end, and influence the direction of technology used by all AWS services around the world.

In this role, you will have the opportunity to drive mission critical projects, work with senior and principal engineers, and help mentor more junior team members.


As an SDE on our team you will:

  • Create and collaborate in the design, implementation, and deployment of systems and services
  • Work and grow with talented teams delivering impactful projects
  • Functionally decompose complex problems into simple, straight-forward solutions while understanding system interdependencies and limitations
  • Share your knowledge of the most effective performance, scalability, architecture, and engineering patterns and methods


AWS has the most services and more features within those services, than any other cloud provider-from infrastructure technologies like compute, storage, and databases-to emerging technologies, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, data lakes and analytics, and Internet of Things.

Whether its Identity features such as access management and sign on, cryptography, console, builder & developer tools, and even projects like automating all of our contractual billing systems, AWS Platform is always innovating with the customer in mind.

The AWS Platform team sustains over 750 million transactions per second.

Our team also puts a high value on work-life balance.

Striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life is crucial to your happiness and success here, which is why we aren't focused on how many hours you spend at work or online.

Instead, we're happy to offer a flexible schedule so you can have a more productive and well-balanced life-both in and outside of work.


We have a formal mentor search application that lets you find a mentor that works best for you based on location, job family, job level etc.

Your manager can also help you find a mentor or two, because two is better than one.

In addition to formal mentors, we work and train together so that we are always learning from one another, and we celebrate and support the career progression of our team members.

Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally.

We have innovative benefit offerings, and we host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences.

Amazon's culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 14 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

  • Design and develop stateoftheart approaches to solving complex and ambiguous problems
  • Cultivate engineering and operational excellence through metrics and continuous learning
