About The Position

Do you get excited about building hyper-scale data applications? Interested in security engineering? Enjoy working with the latest and greatest AWS technologies? Here in Defensive Security, we have that special role just for you! The Security Findings Management team is building the next generation of mission critical data processing pipelines and applications. Our innovations handle petabyte scale data, in real time. These applications enable Amazon defensive security and security management teams globally. Our customers are Amazon, internal stakeholders, and Amazon’s customers. Our engineers work directly with stakeholders, get close to customers' needs, and are empowered to take technical risks to build the best-in-class software with respect to quality, scale, and insights. The technical foundation this team builds helps keep all of Amazon (Fulfillment Centers, Physical Stores, Whole Foods, Fresh, etc.) secure. We need folks who have a passion for building hyper-scale systems that are always online. Those with an entrepreneurial spirit to take risks, experiment with new technical methods, and focus on improving what came before will find themselves perfectly at home in our team. As a member of the team, your duties will range from system/software design, AWS configuration, software feature/library development, strategic technical planning, and partnering with several security and technical teams worldwide. One day you might be helping a vendor onboard their data into the magnificent data pipelines your team built, and the next day you may be advocating for a feature rewrite based on a deep dive analysis you performed. You will be part of making the team your own. We believe in a self-organizing team. As one of the founding members you will help shape team process, outcomes, and goals as part of interactions with Senior Amazon Leadership. Each day you will achieve new successes as you adapt to Amazon scaling, new bad actors arising, and emerging technologies being added to your portfolio. You will shape, form, and deliver all aspects of the software and operations that your team delivers to enable defensive security and security management success.
