From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
How do you help every AWS customer understand who can access what, and why, across billions of resource configurations? That's the challenge at the core of this role.
As a Software Development Manager on the AWS IAM Access Analyzer team, you'll lead a team building the next-generation internal access analysis platform that evaluates IAM policies at massive scale to surface security findings for AWS customers. Your systems power automated reasoning about permissions, resource configurations, and access patterns, helping customers identify overly permissive access and unused credentials before they become security incidents.
This is a deeply technical team operating at the intersection of distributed systems, automated reasoning, and cloud security. The ideal candidate sets a high engineering bar, drives operational excellence across tier-0 infrastructure, and works backwards from customer needs to deliver meaningful security outcomes. If you're passionate about building systems that make the cloud more secure by default, this is the role for you.
Key job responsibilities
Define and execute the product and architecture strategy for large-scale access analysis, including finding generation, resource configuration ingestion, and cost estimation
Drive customer-facing impact by working backwards from enterprise customer needs (financial services, large tech companies) to simplify how they discover and remediate security risks
The Citadel team sits within AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), building the next-generation internal access analysis platform. We help AWS customers continuously evaluate their IAM policies and resource configurations to identify overly permissive access, unused credentials, and potential security risks at scale. Our work combines distributed systems engineering with automated reasoning to deliver security insights that protect millions of AWS accounts.
We value strong ownership, operational rigor, and a culture of working backwards from customer outcomes.
Knowledge of engineering practices and patterns for the full software/hardware/networks development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, certification, and livesite operations
