Front End Engineer, Amazon Security Experiences
Amazon Security Experiences is building the unified security platform for every builder at Amazon. Our product brings together security reviews, issue management, and security metrics into a single, AI-powered experience. If you care deeply about interaction design and the quality of tools that help builders ship secure software, this team is for you.
You will work alongside exceptional senior engineering talent solving hard problems across front-end architecture, enterprise security tooling, and applied AI. You'll learn how to build a product that meets Amazon's high bar for availability, scalability, and security while shipping features that builders notice and love.
Key job responsibilities
- Own end-to-end delivery of high-impact, user-facing features, from technical spec to production
- Drive technical direction for client-side architecture, including micro-frontend composition, shared component libraries, and cross-product design patterns
- Work closely with designers and product managers to ensure every feature meets a high bar for builder UX and interaction quality
- Build and use AI agents to accelerate your own development workflow, and exercise high judgment about when to trust automation versus when the situation demands your direct involvement
- Mentor engineers, helping them navigate technical challenges and grow their careers
- Deeply understand customer workflows, how builders conduct security reviews, triage issues, and interpret security metrics, and build backward from their needs
A day in the life
You use AI agents to write code and move fast, and attend design reviews with your PM and designer to keep the builder experience bar high. You own features end to end, from spec to production, for a product actively used by builders across Amazon. You participate in operational reviews, track the metrics that matter, and continuously measure and improve client-side performance. You help onboard new engineers, contribute to roadmap planning, and obsess over every interaction and every millisecond of latency, always choosing the path that serves users best.
About the team
Amazon Security Experiences is a team of engineers who believe the way builders interact with security is about to change permanently, and we are the ones defining that change. We are building a unified, AI-native security platform that brings together security reviews, issue management, and security metrics into a single experience for every builder at Amazon. We care about performance, interaction design, and the small details that make a tool feel fast and effortless. We prototype constantly, experiment boldly, and ship things that surprise and delight our customers. We dogfood our own product every day, which means every improvement we ship makes us more effective too. We have fun doing it, we reinvent how builders think about security, and we are always looking ahead to what comes next. If you want to build tools that make security intuitive, fast, and delightful for every builder at Amazon, this is the team for you.
