Each day, hundreds of thousands of developers make billions of transactions worldwide on our cloud. They harness the power of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enable innovative applications, websites, and businesses. The AWS Security team owns security for all of these services offered by AWS, including EC2, S3, Lambda, and more than 150 others. Our Application Security team works with builders across AWS to ensure that AWS products are secure. We dive deep into security technologies such as new authentication systems, hardware security components, cryptography, system hardening, and massive-scale audit analysis.
Key job responsibilities
This is a role that combines robust software development of scalable systems and software security. You will lead a team of engineers who build services that detect and drive remediation of security issues in AWS systems.
• Hire, motivate, mentor, and grow a high-performing engineering team, providing them with appropriate opportunities to succeed in their career objectives.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams: Work effectively with product managers and software engineers on other Security teams to ensure the successful delivery of features.
• Be deeply involved with engineers to architect and develop the best technical designs and approaches.
• Work with a high degree of ambiguity
About the team
Our systems must be scalable to support a large and growing developer population that is innovating quickly. We help AWS developers build security into their systems, and we help AWS Security personnel verify that systems are secure. Our tools target all types of AWS systems in a range of domains including web services, IoT, robotics, hypervisors, and cryptography.
