About the role

Amazon.com Services LLC is seeking a software engineer to design and implement cryptographic systems using Rust, PKI, formal verification, and distributed architectures. You will own features from design through deployment and mentor junior engineers across teams. You will work on authentication systems and large-scale security architecture, collaborating with engineers across AWS in a culture that emphasizes knowledge sharing and operational excellence.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
