Our team proactively identifies gaps, vulnerabilities, and solutions across the entire lifecycle of the datacenter.

As a security engineer, you will own the relationships with customer teams, dive deep to understand the security risks and business challenges, leveraging your years of broad and deep experience to help formulate and drive more secure outcomes. You will dive deep to understand where logical controls thwart physical and remote attackers. You will use threat models, assume breach, and devise strategies to prevent and detect remote attackers in our cutting edge environments. AWS operates at very large scale and demands high standards, so a passion and discipline around security and delivery is critical. A high level of ownership and accountability is a must.
