In this role, you will be a technical expert with significant scope and impact. You will work closely with a group of Software Development Engineers, Product Managers, Data Scientists, and Business Intelligence Engineers to create the data infrastructure and pipelines necessary to drive our team’s initiatives.
Job summary
In the AWS WAF Intelligence team, we build advanced bot control software that gives customers visibility and control over pervasive bot traffic that can consume excess resources, cause downtime, or perform other undesired fraudulent activities. We make it easy for customers to detect fraud and to help protect their web applications from attacks by analyzing large volumes of data in real-time for modeling suspicious behavior through machine learning and fingerprinting techniques. By supporting association with CloudFront, Application Load Balancer, API Gateway and AppSync customers can protect their applications and resources whether all in on the Cloud, maintaining on premise data centers, or using a hybrid Cloud approach.
We build a highly available low latency distributed system that allows customers to propagate changes worldwide in minutes to respond to active attacks in real-time. Using AWS Firehose, customers can store their full WAF logs for compliance and auditing as well as use them for debugging and additional forensics. We support using AWS Config to track historical changes to the rules and metrics associated with their WAF RuleGroups. Using CloudFormation customers can automate the deployment of their WAF Security Automations on the AWS Cloud.
You will play a lead role on the team and influence how we design, develop, build, deploy and support AWS WAF. To be successful in the role, you must be able to research, innovate and create unique solutions. There is no precedent to follow in this problem space. You will be involved from inception to deployment and beyond. You’ll interact with our customers, gathering requirements, designing, implementing, testing and supporting the product operationally; soup to nuts. You will be expected to use your technical background and have a significant impact on the direction of AWS WAF as well as new services that we develop in the future.
We own the direct customer experience as well as the per request processing of rules for CloudFront, API Gateway, and ALB. Not only do we build an AWS Security service, but we’re a customer of AWS using other AWS services to provide the solutions to our customers that scale and seamlessly integrate with their existing workflows. Engineers on our team get to solve some of the hardest computer science problems including building highly available distributed micro-services, global scaling across both AWS Regions and CloudFront edge locations, and processing millions of requests with single digit millisecond latency.
