Herndon, Virginia
The AWS Region Services team is hiring a cleared Systems Development Engineer to support cloud security services for the U.S. Intelligence Community. Our team is tasked with protecting the AWS infrastructure that is used by our National Security customers.

The ESS-ADC team supports External Security Services (ESS) in Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) regions. ESS services include GuardDuty, Security Hub, Inspector, Security Lake, Detective, and Macie.
As a Systems Development Engineer on our team, you will be instrumental in managing the operational load to scale a massive & always-on distributed system, proactively automating away problems in order to improve the quality of service for our security operations customers.
If you thrive in operating complex systems, diagnosing and resolving the hardest corner case operations problems, please apply! Our systems engineers don't just solve problems - we look to engineer services to scale with lots of automation, decreasing effort along the way. We know that the really interesting problems are hiding inside this automation challenge.
You'll work side-by-side with our security engineers and service development teams to deploy and maintain the security information and event management (SIEM) platform they use every day. We have a lot of log data to process and we need your help! You'll implement mechanisms to drive our availability metrics up and our latency metrics down. We're need you to "think big" and ensure that we're set up to scale for the future. We need you to Invent and Simplify new operational tools to improve the velocity of our Security Operations service customers.
We're not looking for hands or button pressers we're looking for motivated individuals who want to scale security systems and change the way the business operates as a result. You need to be open to new challenges and willing to learn new technologies. In addition to using internal Amazon tooling, we are huge advocates for using public AWS services to build our platform, You should always be thinking, "how could this work without me involved" and then working to build those tools to achieve it.
This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph. The position further requires the candidate to opt into a commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.
Key job responsibilities
- Operate within the team of peer engineers with lots of personal autonomy to solve complex systems engineering problems through innovative approaches.
- Provide guidance on system architecture and recommend solutions in alignment with systems engineering best practices.
- Calmly and quickly diagnose and fix critical system failures in high pressure situations to reduce Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR).
- Engineer Operational Improvements to reduce operational efforts to Keep the Lights On.
- Troubleshoot unknown-unknown problems into known-known root causes using your holistic knowledge of systems to break the problem down and isolate the cause(s); then drive them to resolution
