Software Development Manager, Perimeter Protection, AWS Shield (Anti-DDoS)
Amazon.com
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Would you like to develop new AWS services that enhance our customers’ ability to protect their workloads from evolving threats and attacks?
AWS Perimeter Protection has created unique technology and innovative services such as AWS Shield, AWS Web Application Firewall, AWS Firewall Manager, and Network Firewall to monitor and defend some of the largest distributed networks in the world, but it is still only Day 1.
Our Anti-DDoS (Distributed Denial of Services) team, known as AWS Shield, is the first line of defense against DDoS threats worldwide, protecting all Amazon and AWS customers and services. Our architecture must be highly scalable, performant, and continually evolve against threats as they emerge. We aim to be fast, precise, and provide complete protection for all AWS services and customers.
The AWS Shield Anti-DDoS team is looking for a Software Development Manager to help us build new services and improve our existing services for internal and external customers. You will work closely with other teams including Threat Research, Security, Operations, Networking, and Product to identify opportunities to launch new features and continually improve our defenses against DDoS attacks or overloading events. In this role, you will lead part of the AWS Shield team which is responsible for our telemetry services. These are highly critical systems that underpin traffic routing and DDoS detection platforms, enable self-service DDoS testing, provide network-layer and application-layer insights to operators, and are used widely across AWS to triage ongoing events. You will develop, evolve, and optimize these systems, to help protect customers and services from DDoS attacks as well as other overloading events.
