## Job description

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to join the AWS Identity team. In this role, you will design, build, and operate distributed systems that handle authentication and authorization decisions at scale.

### Key job responsibilities
- Design and implement core identity infrastructure components including control plane APIs, data plane execution environments, and deployment orchestration systems
- Design and implement scalable, highly available services that process millions of requests per second
- Develop monitoring, observability, and operational tooling to ensure production reliability and enable rapid incident response
- Contribute to technical strategy and architecture decisions for session management, identity/permissions, cross-account access, and security integrations
- Mentor junior engineers and drive engineering excellence through code reviews, design reviews, and operational best practices

Our inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers.
