The Security Engineer role within Amazon's Corporate Services Security team focuses on safeguarding corporate services, systems, and data. The team collaborates with various business units to ensure secure application development and innovation. The ideal candidate will possess deep expertise in application security and will be responsible for influencing security strategies across service organizations. This position emphasizes a balance between technical skills and effective communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of non-internship background in troubleshooting systems issues, analyzing logs, or automating complex tasks using command line tools.
  • 5+ years of work in identifying security issues and risks, and developing mitigation plans.
  • 5+ years of (non-internship) scripting, programming, and security code review in common programming languages.
  • Knowledge of at least two of the following programming languages: Scala, Java, Python, C/C++, or Go.
  • Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team.
  • Experience applying threat modeling or other risk identification techniques or equivalent.
  • Experience with security in service-oriented architectures/microservices and web services.

Responsibilities

  • Create, update, and maintain threat models for a wide variety of web applications hosted on cloud.
  • Conduct manual and automated secure code reviews, primarily in Java, Python, and Javascript.
  • Develop security automation tools.
  • Perform adversarial security analysis using the latest tools to augment manual effort.
  • Provide security training and outreach for internal development teams.
  • Offer security architecture and design guidance to application development teams.
  • Independently solve systemic, complex security problems that require novel methods or approaches.
  • Influence team and partner processes, priorities, strategy, and choices by using data to improve security outcomes.
  • Provide technical and strategic guidance to senior leaders and stakeholders through effective oral and written communications.

Benefits

  • 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. Overall, the package is designed to support employees and their families’ health, finances, and day-to-day life.
