And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
The AWS WAF Bot Control and Fraud Prevention team is seeking an experienced Software Development Manager to lead a team that develops and globally operates a highly available, low-latency distributed system that powers real-time intelligent Layer7 threat detections using methods such as behavioral analysis and machine learning, and mitigations such as Captcha and client-side challenges.
