You will have the opportunity to learn from, and be mentored by, those who are building and securing our services.

A Security Engineer at AWS is expected to be strong in multiple domains and provide significant contributions to the teams within AWS Global Services, Security and to multiple groups throughout Amazon. Security engineers are expected to develop elegant solutions to complex business problems and apply appropriate technologies while following security engineering best practices. You are also expected to mentor more junior engineers and be a security thought leader for the organization.

A Security Engineer must foster constructive dialogue and seek resolution when confronted with discordant views. Engineers in this role are expected to participate fully in the planning of the security team's work and constantly seek opportunities for process improvement. They should also have a deep understanding of at least one specialty for which they are a sought out resource (both within AWS IT Security and by groups throughout Amazon), while having an understanding of the application of Information Security in a broad range of technical areas.

You will have the combination of troubleshooting, technical, and communication skills, as well as the ability to handle a mix of disparate tasks which may include project and software development work. This role will provide career growth opportunities as you gain new security skills in the course of your duties.

Key job responsibilities

  • Creating, updating, and maintaining threat models for a wide variety of software projects
  • Manual and automated secure code review, primarily in Java, Python and Javascript
  • Development of security automation tools
  • Adversarial security analysis using tools to augment manual effort
  • Security training and outreach for internal development teams
  • Security architecture and design guidance
  • Lead execution and definition of security strategy for your team
  • Mentor and develop teammates both technically and professionally
