Description For Systems Development Engineer, Amazon Security Platform Engineering

Amazon Security Platform Engineering team is seeking a Systems Development Engineer to join their mission-critical security infrastructure team. This role focuses on developing scalable self-service systems for collecting security-relevant logs from internal and third-party systems. The position offers an opportunity to work on protecting Amazon's vast infrastructure and customer data through innovative security solutions.

The role involves designing and implementing flexible, secure, and high-performance tools and services that handle petabytes of data deployed worldwide. You'll be responsible for building and maintaining logging solutions, collaborating with product owners, and helping other teams integrate their services for data ingestion into the platform.

Amazon Security values diverse experiences and maintains a strong focus on customer trust and security across all Amazon's products and services. The team offers a supportive environment with opportunities for career growth, mentorship, and continuous learning. The position includes on-call responsibilities, though the team works to ensure systems are fault-tolerant and problems are resolved permanently.

Working at Amazon Security means joining a team that prioritizes work-life harmony, inclusive culture, and professional development. The role offers exposure to various security areas, including cloud, devices, retail, entertainment, healthcare, and physical stores. The team culture encourages learning, curiosity, and embracing diverse perspectives to tackle complex security challenges.

This position is based in Dublin, Ireland, and Amazon provides relocation support for successful applicants within the EU. The role requires a combination of technical expertise in systems engineering, software development, and security, making it an excellent opportunity for professionals looking to impact global-scale security solutions while growing their careers in a supportive, innovative environment.
