Description

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 is looking for an experienced strong software engineer to help build the future of our Runtime Monitoring product.

The team interacts with security researchers to codify security analytics into the service. We are innovating new ways of building massively scalable and globally distributed security systems for assisting our customers with security and compliance.

In this role, you will be responsible for architecting and developing core modules, design of new features in software applications, tools and services using object-oriented design, C, Rust, and eBPF. Diagnose and optimize performance bottlenecks in the system tied to the user of system resources like CPU, Memory, and other I/O. Gather business and functional requirements from stakeholders, and translate requirements into technical specifications to build robust, scalable, supportable solutions that work well between a range of complexity. Candidate should have strong embedded fundamentals, understanding the need to implement functions optimally and correctly, with strong verification requirements across various Linux operating systems. The agent is the foundation of the Runtime Monitoring feature and must be reliable in performance and security value.

This position is on the established Agent team with opportunities for both improving existing systems and processes, as well as the opportunity to innovate to provide new solutions. You must enjoy working on complex software systems in a customer-centric environment and be passionate not only about building good software but also ensuring that the same software achieves its goals in operational reality and resource constrained environments. You will be responsible for the development end-to-end lifecycle, from scoping, planning, conception, design, implementation and testing, to documentation, delivery and maintenance. Provide design reviews for other engineers, including feedback on architecture and design issues, as well as integration, performance and scalability.

On-Call Responsibility

This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months. We don’t like getting paged in the middle of the night or on the weekend, so we work to ensure that our systems are fault tolerant. When we do get paged, we work together to resolve the root cause so that we don’t get paged for the same issue twice.
