From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Amazon GuardDuty is a threat detection service that continuously monitors, analyzes, and processes AWS data sources and logs to identify unexpected, potentially unauthorized, and malicious activity within customer AWS environments. GuardDuty combines machine learning, anomaly detection, and malicious file discovery, using both AWS and third-party sources to help protect workloads and data across AWS accounts.
We are looking for a Software Development Engineer II to join the GuardDuty team. In this role, you will design, build, and operate highly available, scalable distributed systems that power GuardDuty's billing and usage platform, metadata services, and runtime agent provisioning. You will work on challenging problems at the intersection of cloud security, distributed systems, and customer experience — building platforms that serve both internal teams and millions of external AWS customers.
You will be a hands-on engineer contributing to the full software development lifecycle — from requirements gathering and system design through implementation, testing, deployment, and operations. You will collaborate closely with security engineers, applied scientists, and product managers to deliver features that protect millions of AWS customers. This is a high-impact role where your work directly contributes to the security posture of AWS customers worldwide.
Our team owns three critical platforms for GuardDuty: the billing and usage platform that accurately meters and charges GuardDuty usage across millions of AWS accounts, metadata services that enrich data and provide internal GuardDuty teams with the context they need to build better detections and customer experiences, and the runtime agent provisioning and coverage platform that deploys GuardDuty's security agent across AWS compute services and tracks coverage health.
We work at the intersection of security, distributed systems, and customer experience — building platforms that are foundational to how GuardDuty operates and scales.
The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location.
Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
