Amazon's Silicon & Systems Group builds the custom Arm-based SoCs and low-level software that power Fire TV and Amazon's streaming media and smart-TV devices. We are looking for a Software Development Engineer II to join our Content Protection & DRM team.

In this role you will design, implement, and ship the security-critical software that protects premium content on our devices — including industry DRM systems (Widevine, PlayReady, FairPlay) and HDCP link protection (Transmit and Receive). You will write trusted-application (TA) and secure-world code running in a TrustZone/OP-TEE Trusted Execution Setting, integrate cryptographic key provisioning, and work closely with silicon, multimedia, and streaming-partner teams to take features from architecture to certified production.
This is a hands-on engineering role with high ownership. Your code runs at the lowest, most security-sensitive layers of the stack, and directly enables customers to watch the content they love in the highest available quality.

Key job responsibilities
Design, implement, test,



and maintain DRM and content-protection software (Widevine, PlayReady, FairPlay, HDCP 1.x/2.x Tx & Rx) in C/C++ for embedded Arm platforms.
Develop trusted applications and secure-world components for a TrustZone/OP-TEE TEE, including applied cryptography (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA) and secure key handling.
Implement and validate secure device key provisioning and factory/development provisioning flows.
Integrate DRM stacks with the media pipeline and certify content playback with streaming partners (e.g., Prime Video, Netflix, YouTube).
Debug complex, cross-layer issues spanning firmware, kernel drivers, TEE, and user space; analyze and resolve performance and security defects.
Participate in security architecture reviews, threat modeling, code reviews, and compliance & robustness certification.
Write explicit design documents and contribute to team engineering standards.
