About The Position

We are the funnel through which all software vulnerability intelligence flows into AWS. We share knowledge of the fleet's security posture with AVM Security partners. We enable our partners to make informed decisions when prioritizing remediation work to help builders remedy identified software vulnerabilities within SLA. We define the vulnerability lifecycle as being circular rather than linear in nature and the AVM Assessments team is the first and last link in that circular chain. We are dedicated to safeguarding the security and integrity of AWS's infrastructure and software. You will be joining the AWS Vulnerability Management (AVM) team, focusing on building tooling and automations to support how we measure and evaluate risk across the entirety of the AWS fleet. Amazon Security values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn't followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don't let it stop you from applying. At Amazon, security is central to maintaining customer trust and delivering delightful customer experiences. Our organization is responsible for creating and maintaining a high bar for security across all of Amazon's products and services. We offer talented security professionals the chance to accelerate their careers with opportunities to build experience in a wide variety of areas including cloud, devices, retail, entertainment, healthcare, operations, and physical stores. In Amazon Security, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Ongoing DEI events and learning experiences inspire us to continue learning and to embrace our uniqueness. Addressing the toughest security challenges requires that we seek out and celebrate a diversity of ideas, perspectives, and voices. We're continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth's Best Employer. That's why you'll find endless knowledge-sharing, training, and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional. We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why flexible work hours and arrangements are part of our culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there's nothing we can't achieve.
