Job description

DESCRIPTION

Amazon is looking for Systems Development Engineers to build and scale the systems and software for the security of the world's largest and most complex networks. Tens of millions of customers rely on Amazon's network for using retail websites, accessing content on their Kindles and building applications and businesses on top of Amazon Web Services (AWS).
