Work in Washington Veterans Jobs

Description

The Devices and Services Trust & Security (DSTS) team at Amazon is responsible for the security of Amazon devices and their connected backend services including Alexa, the Kindle, Fire TV, network systems such as Kuiper and Sidewalk, and Ring devices such as video doorbell, cameras, and lighting. DSTS team members are the experts in secure development and implementation, pen-testing, and the secure development lifecycle.

The Devices and Services Cryptography (DS-Crypto) team in DSTS sets strategic direction for use of cryptography in the DSTS organization through research, development, training and consultation. The team is looking for strong software development engineers to design, develop, test, troubleshoot, triage, debug, maintain, and document cryptographic implementations in devices and cloud services, You will own the design of cryptographic implementations, tooling, define development roadmaps, own key deliverables and have opportunities to extend existing systems and build others from scratch. You will interact with Cryptographers, Security Engineers and Applied Scientists and convert their vision into a technical solution. You will participate in the development of guidance and training material regarding secure/proper use of cryptography for other software Builders. This is a high visibility and fast-paced environment where you will make a direct impact on the customer experience and the bottom line of the company. We have ambitious goals to build high impact cryptography implementations and to delight our customers with a great product.

Key job responsibilities

High-level responsibilities for this position include but are not limited to:

• Gather and analyze business and functional requirements, and translate business requirements into technical design specifications.

• Work closely with senior and peer cryptography SMEs to ensure your technical designs meet Amazon’s high bar for cryptographic implementations.

• Write high-quality, efficient, testable, maintainable code and recommend improvements in development, maintenance, and system standards, while also contributing to high quality software documentation.

• Be responsible for technical problem solving, meeting product objectives, and developing best practices.

• Track and report on metrics which are key performance indicators, allowing performance improvements so that the desired outcomes are achieved to plan and in a timely manner.

• Serve as an essential technical resource for builders in Devices and Services in the full development cycle of cryptography related software.

• Work in an agile development environment.

About the team

The DS-Crypto Team researches advances in cryptographic standards and algorithms, serving as experts for post-quantum cryptography, homomorphic encryption, lightweight cryptography, security protocols, and the implementation of these technologies. When new cryptographic technologies are needed and unavailable, DS-Crypto builds (or partners with development teams to build) such capabilities to expand the technology shelf of available solutions. Team members provide the cryptographic expertise for DSTS development teams for consultative design exploration and security design reviews. Cryptography team members contribute to advancing DSTS’s level-of-knowledge by developing and leading training classes and adding to the cryptography and devices security body-of-knowledge increasing development team’s self-sufficiency.
