Software Dev Engineer, AWS Identity Analytics

AWS Identity Analytics is re-imagining how identity data is understood, acted on, and used to protect customers at scale. We build an AI-driven analytics platform that turns 50+ PB of raw logs and metrics into proactive, actionable insights for AWS Identity leadership and core service teams — including IAM and STS. AWS teams across the organization also rely on our platform for impact analysis related to AWS Auth.

Our platform is the foundation on which everything else stands: ingesting petabyte-scale data from dozens of Identity services, transforming it into structured, queryable intelligence, and serving it reliably to the ML models, LLM agents, and dashboards that our customers act on every day.

Are you excited by the prospect of building AI-powered solutions that let stakeholders access insights without needing to understand how the underlying data is organized or connected? Do you want to work on petabyte-scale data processing, enrichment, and querying engines? Do you want to work on a platform that directly shapes how AWS Identity services evolve — influencing decisions that affect hundreds of millions of customers globally? Do you thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments where your engineering work drives measurable business outcomes?

As a Software Development Engineer II on the Identity Analytics team, you will implement and optimize features across our data platform, spanning software, data management, cloud infrastructure, ML models, and AI-powered solutions. You will design and operate the ingestion, transformation, and serving pipelines that feed our ML models and LLM-powered agents. You will partner closely with our Machine Learning Engineers to turn models and prototypes into production-ready systems that run reliably at scale. What makes this role distinct is the combination of hands-on platform engineering with direct impact on our AI capabilities: the features you deliver and the pipelines you operate shape the quality, freshness, and reliability of every insight our customers receive

Key job responsibilities
* Implement, test, and optimize features across the data platform, including software services, data management, cloud infrastructure, ML models, and AI-powered solutions.

* Improve data quality, freshness, and reliability through monitoring, alerting, and automated validation.
* Take part in on-call, troubleshoot production issues, and drive root-cause fixes for your components.
* Write clear design documents for features and components, and take part in design and code reviews.
* Help improve the team's engineering practices, and mentor SDE I engineers and interns.
