Ddos Jobs (NOW HIRING)

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we're the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.

We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain and we're looking for talented people who want to help.
You'll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You'll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you'll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
Join Shield, AWS's defense team within Perimeter Protection

We stand at the forefront of protecting AWS infrastructure and millions of customers from sophisticated attacks across the internet. Our mission is critical: safeguard the cloud infrastructure that powers a significant portion of the modern internet.
AWS Shield is seeking an experienced Software Development Manager to lead the development of next-generation DDoS protection systems that safeguard AWS infrastructure and customer applications at global scale.
What You'll Do:
- As a Software Development Manager for AWS Shield, you will architect, build, and operate critical security systems that protect AWS and millions of customers from sophisticated DDoS attacks. You will lead a team of talented engineers developing real-time detection and mitigation solutions that process terabits of traffic per second.
- What Makes This Role Exciting:
- Internet-Scale Impact: Process and protect traffic representing a substantial portion of global internet activity

The systems you build will defend some of the world's most critical infrastructure.
- Scaling Challenges: Work on problems that few engineering teams ever encounter. Handle traffic volumes and attack patterns that push the boundaries of distributed systems design.
- Creative Problem Solving: Operate in an ambiguous, fast-moving space where the threat landscape evolves daily. Your creativity and adaptability will be your greatest assets as you design solutions for attacks that don't exist yet.
- High-Stakes Engineering: Balance competing priorities - massive scale, rapid iteration, effective mitigation - while ensuring customer traffic flows safely and reliably

Every decision matters.
Key job responsibilities
Define technical strategy and architecture - Establish the long-term vision for AWS Shield's DDoS protection systems. Drive architectural decisions for distributed systems processing terabits of traffic with sub-second response times.
Own critical security initiatives - Lead multiple high-impact projects across existing and greenfield development. Define roadmaps balancing innovation with operational stability, delivering solutions that protect millions of customers.
Build strategic partnerships - Collaborate with senior leaders across AWS security, research, and service teams

Influence technical direction beyond your organization and drive Shield capability adoption across AWS.
Establish data-driven engineering culture - Design metrics frameworks measuring security effectiveness, system performance, and team productivity. Use insights to guide multi-quarter planning and resource allocation.
Develop high-performing teams - Hire, mentor, and retain top engineering talent. Provide career development, conduct performance management, and build team capabilities enabling autonomous decision-making.
Drive operational excellence at scale - Set quality standards and engineering practices enabling reliable, secure system delivery

Balance velocity with stability while maintaining AWS's operational performance bar.
Lead technical innovation - Stay ahead of emerging attack patterns. Evaluate strategic technology choices and make build-versus-buy decisions maintaining AWS Shield's industry-leading position.
About the team
