Job description

Amazon is seeking a Security Engineer who is passionate about security and eager to grow in various security domains. This role involves working in a fast-paced environment to develop security solutions at scale and improve Amazon's overall security architecture. The team values diverse experiences and encourages candidates from non-traditional backgrounds to apply. The successful candidate will have opportunities for career growth and will contribute to solving complex security challenges.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent.
  • 5+ years of programming experience in Python, Ruby, Go, Swift, Java, .Net, C++, or similar object-oriented languages.
  • Experience performing security activities across one or more phases of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
  • Knowledge of networking protocols such as HTTP, DNS, and TCP/IP.
  • Experience with AWS products and services.

Responsibilities

  • Independently solve security problems that require novel methods or approaches.
  • Develop solutions to detect and prevent security issues at scale.
  • Develop security automation tools.
  • Influence team processes, priorities, and choices to improve outcomes.
  • Demonstrate and promote security best practices.

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.
