We are responsible for the protection of customer and corporate data, while being connected to all parts of Amazon's business and its massive worldwide service-oriented architecture. Whether you're passionate about building highly scalable and reliable systems in the cloud or a software developer who likes to solve interesting and complex business problems, RAM is the place for you.
We are looking for a Software Development Engineer to design and build large scale, highly impactful Resource and Access Management Systems with company-wide reach. There is ample opportunity to innovate and deliver high impact outcomes.

We are the Resource and Access Management (RAM) organization, part of Amazon Foundational Security Services, and we strive to provide our customers with secure by default security services which help them discover, organize, and manage resources while achieving least privilege access control with the least amount of human intervention possible. Our team works across all of Amazon and AWS to solve security challenges at massive scale relating to authorization and access control. We dive deep into security technologies such as new access control design patterns, automated workflows, and life cycle management to support our customers as Amazon continues to scale and grow.
