This system provides users with visibility into user activity and resource changes within AWS, which is crucial for compliance with internal policies and regulatory standards. The data generated by CloudTrail is essential for creating event-based workflows, performing security analysis, and troubleshooting operational issues. Given that every AWS customer has CloudTrail enabled by default, the team works closely with nearly every other AWS service, developing scalable systems capable of processing massive amounts of data. This role presents numerous interesting challenges, as customers continuously seek enhancements in breadth, depth, speed, and intelligence of the services offered. This position is a full-stack development role with a focus on back-end work.

The successful candidate will build highly available, secure, scalable, distributed, and event-driven systems. Additionally, the role involves contributing to planning, architecture design, implementation, testing, and process improvement. On-call responsibilities are also part of the job, typically requiring availability for one week every two months. Working in this role means being part of a significant project within AWS's extensive service portfolio. The team is composed of experienced engineers who are dedicated to supporting each other through challenging tasks. The culture within the team emphasizes inclusivity and a fun atmosphere, allowing team members to perform at their best. The team is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining talent from diverse backgrounds, fostering an environment that amplifies positive and inclusive team culture.
