Job Description

DESCRIPTION

Come and build innovative services that protect our cloud from Internet-scale security threats!

As a Security Engineer on our team, you’ll help build and manage services that detect and automate the mitigation of cybersecurity threats across Amazon’s infrastructure, including unauthorized vulnerability scanning and exploit attempts. You’ll work with data scientists, software development engineers, and other security engineers across multiple teams to develop innovative security solutions at a massive scale. Our services protect the AWS cloud for all customers and help preserve our customers’ trust in us. You’ll get to use the full power and breadth of AWS technologies to build services that proactively protect every single AWS customer, both internally and externally, from security threats – not many teams can say that!

Our work is regularly highlighted at re:Invent, re:Inforce, and the AWS Security Blog:

Key job responsibilities
- Research, identify, and prioritize security problems that can be detected using automation
- Develop detection prototypes for these security problems to enhance detection capabilities
- Identify opportunities to prevent security issues at scale

A day in the life
You will balance emergent security needs with the strategic advances we need to make the cloud safer for everyone. You will stay aware of threat activity by digging into industry reports and querying security telemetry to find indicators and trends. You will perform exploratory data analysis and your findings will be key to building the right security detections and mitigations. You will both write code for proofs of concept while also leveraging the talents of a multidisciplinary team to deliver operationally robust automated solutions. This will lead to big security wins for Amazon and its customers.
