Seattle, WA, USA

Are you a technology expert and leader interested in delivering business-critical services at AWS? We have an opportunity for a Sr. System Development Engineer in the Amazon Foundational Security Services (AFSS) organization, and are looking for a technical leader who is ready to transform AWS’s identity management landscape.

In AFSS, we build the software, services, and infrastructure that enable Amazon services across the world to build and deliver for customers. We represent the intersection of AWS technology and the need for traditional IT solutions at Amazon’s scale. We’re an AWS-focused, builder-centric organization, focused on using AWS technology to reshape and reinvent foundational infrastructure technologies. We build software and services that are critical to all Amazon businesses and teams globally. We succeed when Amazon builders have the underlying infrastructure services to operate at scale, worldwide.

What you will do:

As a Senior Systems Development Engineer in the Identity and Access Management team, you will collaborate with other experienced and senior software engineers to drive improvements to our

technology, operate and maintain services and software solutions, and build and track metrics to ensure high-quality results. Your solutions will help provide the ultimate customer service experience needed to anticipate and resolve customers' questions using an automated assistant. You will have the opportunity to work with business partners, leadership and other engineers to influence and drive product vision and lead the design of our systems.

As the subject-matter expert for Active Directory (AD)/Azure AD, the candidate in this position provides technical acumen for the team and ensures that all new and existing AD/Azure environments are successfully deployed and maintained. Primary responsibilities include, administering and maintaining the hybrid and cloud-only identities on the Azure AD tenant, diagnosing and fixing production issues, and developing monitoring solutions. Responsibilities

also include working alongside development on Amazon Corporate and Divisional Software projects, updating/enhancing our current software, automating support processes, documenting our systems, and managing AFSS organization-level operational cadence and programs.

Why it matters:

Amazon and Amazon Web Services are growing at an incredible rate. To keep up with that growth, we must continually innovate with new processes and automation that simplify our operations on a massive scale. You’ll have a company-wide impact; your work will impact thousands of developers and teams. You’ll help us rapidly launch and scale our services. The processes you enable will benefit Amazon’s external customers.

Why you’ll love it:

You’ll see all aspects of the Amazon business, from our Retail websites to our digital products to the inner workings of Amazon Web Services. You’ll work with massive data sets. You’ll improve the agility of our technical teams. You’ll be part of a growing, fast-paced, and innovative team. You’ll have ownership, not just responsibility, and you’ll define and execute processes to deliver both savings and productivity for AWS and Amazon.

Our ideal candidate will have a strong background in identity directory systems architecture and development with demonstrated experience designing, building, and operating global technology solutions. The candidate will possess strong written and verbal communication skills and have a successful track record of delivering large-scale engineering solutions. The desire and ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment are essential.

This is a high-impact opportunity with interesting challenges and high visibility. We truly are looking for the highest-quality candidates, so you should expect a rigorous technical interview process.
