Software Development Engineer II, Security Products

Amazon Security Detection, Response & Engineering (SDRE) is building the next generation of security products from the ground up. We're building unified platform spanning threat detection, incident response, and digital forensics, protecting all of Amazon and its subsidiaries across endpoint, cloud, network, and application vectors. This is a rare greenfield opportunity: you'll be architecting and building an AI-first product from scratch, not inheriting legacy systems. We're looking for a Software Development Engineer II who thrives in ambiguity, thinks like a product architect, and brings a builder's mindset to defensive security. You'll be a technical leader on a diverse team of software and security engineers, shaping the architecture of systems that process millions of signals daily and making foundational decisions that will define how Amazon defends itself for years to come. This isn't a typical "maintain and iterate" role. We need someone who is innovative, adaptive, and culture-first. Someone who gets energized by blank whiteboards, challenges assumptions, and inspires others to raise the bar. You'll partner directly with security leadership across Amazon to translate complex, multi-variable problems into elegant, scalable, AI-driven solutions that safeguard Amazon's infrastructure and customer data.
