  • 2+ years of scripting, programming, and security code review experience in a common programming language.
  • Bachelor's degree in a STEM field or experience in IT Security.
  • Knowledge of networking protocols such as HTTP, DNS, and TCP/IP.
  • Experience applying threat modeling or other risk identification techniques.
  • Experience conveying complex technical concepts to both technical and business audiences.

  • 1+ years of continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) experience.
  • 5+ years as a technical specialist, including 3+ years in secure coding or cloud security engineering.

Responsibilities

  • Lead threat modeling, security design reviews, and architecture reviews for customer engagements.

  • Build secure-by-design Infrastructure-as-Code controls for various architectures.
  • Apply AWS security best practices for authentication, authorization, and data handling.
  • Write and review Infrastructure-as-Code, scripts, and detections in various programming languages.
  • Build continuous compliance monitoring and automated evidence collection pipelines.
  • Integrate custom controls with AWS-native and third-party security tooling.
  • Drive emerging-edge ideas into prototyping for new security solutions.
  • Identify risks and propose implementation paths and go/no-go gates.
  • Help develop technical content and identify cross-team patterns and improvements.

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).
