Senior Software Development Engineer, AWS Compliance & Security Assurance

Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Seattle, WA Full Time
POSTED ON 9/27/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/26/2026
Description

GTPC Tech is an AWS Security team developing services used by internal compliance teams to enable the international flow of AWS’s hardware, software, services, and technology. Through (i) self-service management of data, automation, and analytics, and (ii) integrations with supply chain systems, our solutions help AWS keep pace with rapidly expanding compliance obligations driven by regional expansion, evolving regulations, new hardware development, and shifting compliance responsibilities.

We're looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer (SDE) who will provide key technical leadership on the team responsible for GTPC Tech's foundational services, which house compliance data (e.g., part classifications, requirements, evidence of compliance) and integrations with upstream and downstream systems. In this role, you will lead the design and development of capabilities that build upon these services to enable our customers to rapidly scale their capacity, through automation (both rule-based and AI-driven), streamlined user workflows, and innovative solutions that simplify and standardize bespoke business processes.

Key job responsibilities

As an AWS Senior SDE, you’ll design and build services and applications with a team of engineers. To succeed in this role, you believe in high standards for code quality, code reviews, testing, and operational excellence. You support your peers to deliver results in a space that operates much like a start-up, with the autonomy to build the right solution from Day One. You will collaborate with other engineers on technical direction and strategy with a career growth opportunity that AWS can offer.
