We are building the next generation of physical security automation for AWS data centers worldwide. Our team develops software that accelerates how security devices - think cameras, access control systems, and intrusion detection - are provisioned, monitored, and managed across hundreds of global sites.

As an SDE on this team, you will primarily work on Skyward, our security device lifecycle management platform, with a focus on Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) - a program that automates the end-to-end provisioning of physical security devices from construction drawings through to operational readiness. You will also contribute to Red Zone Passport, the application stack that supports red zone security workflows - including mobile validation, access control, and device compliance tooling used by security teams on the ground. This work directly impacts the speed at which new AWS data centers come online.

Key job responsibilities

Design and build backend services, APIs, and orchestration workflows that automate security device provisioning at global scale

Develop integrations with internal systems for device discovery, network configuration, and operational monitoring

Build event-driven architectures using AWS services (Lambda, DynamoDB, SNS/SQS, Step Functions) to process device lifecycle events in real time

Contribute to AI/ML-powered features that extract device metadata from engineering drawings and automate device naming and configuration

Partner with security engineers, site project managers, and systems integrators to translate operational workflows into scalable software solutions

Help evolve and maintain our red zone access and compliance platform, building features that support physical security operations across global sites

Own your deliverables end-to-end - from design through deployment and operations

About the team

The Raven Team is part of Infrastructure Security at AWS. We build and operate software that automates physical security device lifecycle management across AWS data centers globally. Our platforms - Skyward and Red Zone Passport - handle everything from automated device provisioning and health monitoring to red zone process automation. We work at the intersection of physical security and software engineering, partnering with security teams, data center security managers, and systems integrators to reduce the time it takes to bring new data centers online. We"re a small, high-ownership team solving real-world infrastructure problems at global scale.

About the Company

A

Amazon.com Inc

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

Our Leadership Principles
Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
