Security Engineer, AWS Security Vulnerability Management
Amazon is seeking a Security Engineer to join the AVM (AWS Vulnerability Management) organization. Our organization is accountable for the end-to-end software vulnerability lifecycle across all aspects of AWS. We are responsible for building the platform that monitors intelligence, detects vulnerabilities, drives remediation response, and drives innovation to meet the scale and demand of all AWS customers. Working with teams such as EC2, S3, RDS, CloudHSM, Containers, and Amazon Linux requires us to dive deep into all aspects of first- and third-party software across AWS including Operating Systems, firmware, databases, service/system hardening, cryptography, and audit analysis. We are passionate about diving deep to identify and build solutions that keep our customers safe.

As a security engineer, you will help define and execute short-term and long-term strategy for vulnerability remediation. You're well-known for your excellent prioritization skills, as well as your ability to communicate at all levels of an organization (technical and non-technical). The successful candidate must be autonomous, comfortable operating in highly ambiguous situations, and relish the idea of solving security problems at scale.

The successful candidate is one who loves working directly with software developers to understand their needs, and design security systems and solutions that enable developers to operate more effectively, securely and safely. You will have the opportunity to engage with systems that are at the cutting edge of technology. You will work directly with AWS service teams, partner security teams, and administrative teams to identify opportunities to improve our security posture. You will build tooling, drive process improvements, and work with service owners and cutting-edge technology to develop innovative solutions to complex technical challenges.
