Front End Engineer

Job description

DESCRIPTION

The AWS Identity User Experience team focuses on making it easier for AWS customers to manage their software solutions through robust authentication and authorization mechanisms. Our mission is to enhance the customer experience of AWS Identity users by simplifying the complex nature of permissions management and identity storage, but still provide fine-grained control for more specialized AWS administrators. We provide web-based experiences for consoles such as AWS SSO console; which provides a central location within AWS to manage SSO access to multiple AWS accounts and SAML-enabled business applications: https://aws.amazon.com/single-sign-on/

As a Front End Engineer, you will be given the opportunity to work closely with a talented team of engineers, product managers and UX designers to deliver new features to AWS customers. You will design complex front end systems to solve problems in improving the team's internal processes for development, testing, code deployments and operations. As a technical leader, you will be expected to drive your team's design discussions around web security (i.e. XSS, CSRF), choice of web technologies (AngularJS, Angular 2+, React, etc) and to design elegant, responsive, fail-safe user interfaces alongside scalable, maintainable systems to support these web applications.

If you have a passion for driving quality, improving customer experience and designing front end systems that are secure, reactive and maintainable, we'd love to talk to you!
