Software Development Engineer, Fintech

Are you looking for an opportunity to help define how AI governance and compliance scale across Amazon Finance? Are you interested in building intelligent systems that embed security and controllership guardrails directly into developer workflows, protecting financial systems without slowing innovation? Do you thrive at the intersection of AI, security, and compliance? FinTech is for you!

Our team manages Kompass, an AI Development Lifecycle (AIDLC) solution that enforces security and controllership compliance across all AI-assisted development within FinTech. The solution provides ambient governance through programmatic rule enforcement, automated risk classification, and real-time compliance checks embedded invisibly within the tools that engineers and citizen developers already use. Kompass ensures that every automation interacting with financial systems meets security, operational readiness, and controllership standards, enabling teams to build confidently while maintaining the control rigor that regulated financial systems demand.

Kompass aims to evolve into a comprehensive AI governance fabric spanning all development personas and platforms. The solution will extend ambient controllership to citizen developers through risk-tiered guardrails, expand rule coverage with automated scanning and remediation capabilities, and integrate across all agentic harnesses to ensure deterministic compliance enforcement regardless of platform or builder sophistication.
