Software Dev Engineer, AWS ProServe GDO - Security, Tooling, and Compliance Engineering

Are you passionate about building tools and automation that help organizations move faster and more securely in the cloud? We're looking for a Software Development Engineer to join a team that builds purpose-built solutions enabling enterprise customers to deploy secure, compliant cloud foundations at scale.

In this role, you'll design and develop open-source and internal software that solves hard infrastructure and compliance challenges for some of the most security-conscious organizations in the world. Your work will directly reduce the time it takes for customers to go from zero to a fully operational, accredited cloud environment. You'll contribute to solutions spanning infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD platforms, data architecture tooling, and secure access management, all used by thousands of engineers globally.

You'll work in a team that values pragmatism over perfection, lean development practices, and building mechanisms that scale through automation rather than headcount. If you enjoy shipping software that has measurable impact on how customers adopt and operate in the cloud, this is the role for you.
