Original job description

Description

AWS customers trust us with their most sensitive data. We’re building cryptographic systems that enhance customer control over access to their data and metadata. You’ll design and implement components using Rust, PKI, formal verification, and distributed systems that strengthen customer data protection while maintaining operational efficiency at scale. You’ll own significant features from design through deployment, building systems that give customers verifiable control over who accessed their resources and when. Working as part of the Piezo team, you’ll contribute to security outcomes across AWS service teams. Your work will have CISO-level visibility and influence how tens of thousands of Amazon builders design and operate their services.

You’re a software engineer with experience in distributed systems, security, and large-scale design. You deliver high-quality work independently, make sound technical decisions, and mentor junior engineers. You write maintainable code, conduct thorough code reviews, and debug complex issues across multiple components. You communicate technical concepts clearly and demonstrate ownership beyond assigned tasks.

Key job responsibilities

Design and implement cryptographic systems using Rust, formal verification, PKI, and distributed systems. Own features from design through deployment. Conduct code reviews, debug complex issues, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to operational excellence.

A day in the life

You’ll work on authentication systems, cryptography, PKI, system hardening, and large-scale security architecture. You’ll collaborate with engineers across AWS in a team culture that values knowledge sharing and mentorship.
