  • Experience programming with at least one software programming language
  • Understanding of Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) used by threat actors

  • Experience with full software development life cycle, including coding standards and code reviews
  • Knowledge of host and network telemetry data and networking protocols such as HTTP, DNS, and TCP/IP

Responsibilities

  • Research, identify, and prioritize security problems that can be detected using automation
  • Develop detection prototypes and internet-scale systems to solve security problems
  • Deep dive into data to differentiate between benign and malicious activity
  • Perform exploratory data analysis to build the right security detections and mitigations

  • 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.
