Amazon GuardDuty is a customer facing threat detection service that was built to protect applications and services running in AWS. The service processes trillions of events and applies advanced analytics and machine learning to detect threats. https://aws.amazon.com/guardduty/

The Amazon GuardDuty team seeks a Software Development Manager to help build the future of the service. The team interacts with Math PhD's and security researchers to codify security analytics into the service. The researchers use various Machine/Deep Learning algorithms to build new detections for the service. As a Software Development Manager on this team, you have deep knowledge of building security applications using system level programing on Linux, and drive to develop a new innovative security service.

This position is on a new team that you will be joining at its inception and it will have a startup feel. Your team will build key components for the next-gen GuardDuty services. Vision for the team focuses on building software applications, tools and services using Rust, C, C++, and have engineers who diagnose and optimize performance bottlenecks in the system tied to the user of system resources like CPU, and Memory. The successful candidate enjoys working on complex software systems in a customer-centric environment and is passionate about building good software to ensure the software achieves its goals in operational reality.

Amazons culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 14 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

Our team puts a high value on work-live balance. It isnt about how many hours you spend at home or at work; its about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and were building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship.
