  • Knowledge of system security vulnerabilities and remediation techniques, including penetration testing.
  • Strong understanding of internet and networking technologies including TCP/IP and network security.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Experience in identifying security issues and developing mitigation plans.
  • Knowledge of systems engineering fundamentals.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, implement, and analyze security outcomes for AWS Infrastructure aligned with compliance frameworks.

  • Assess the impact of ambiguous security risks and provide scalable solutions.
  • Design, develop, and deploy automation tools to streamline compliance validation and security control monitoring.
  • Build automation solutions using scripting languages to improve team efficiency.
  • Develop tooling for automated remediation of security and compliance gaps.
  • Lead compliance discussions with stakeholders and external auditors.
  • Produce and catalog compliance content to improve customer response times.

  • Employees at Amazon are often offered comprehensive health benefits—including multiple medical plan options (no pre-existing condition exclusions, 100% covered in-network preventive care), dental and vision plans, a 24/7 medical advice line from day one, expert second-opinion services, and broad mental-health support with several free counseling sessions (including pediatric). Financial wellness typically includes a 401(k) with company match (up to 2%), Restricted Stock Units (equity), FSAs, an emergency savings program, product and partner discounts, and even college-savings and home-purchase programs.
