  • 2+ years of scripting, programming, and security code review experience in a common programming language.
  • 2+ years of experience troubleshooting systems issues, analyzing logs, or automating tasks using command line tools.
  • Bachelor's degree in a STEM field or 2+ years of IT Security experience.
  • Knowledge of networking protocols such as HTTP, DNS, and TCP/IP.
  • Knowledge of industry-based security vulnerabilities and remediation techniques.
  • 2+ years of experience in threat modeling, secure coding, identity management, software development, cryptography, system administration, or network security.
  • Experience with AWS products and services.
  • Experience performing security activities across one or more phases of the software development lifecycle.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct high-quality application security reviews and penetration tests independently or as part of a team.
  • Create detailed engagement plans and document findings, gaps, and remediation recommendations.
  • Contribute to team tooling, innovation, and improvements.
  • Communicate and collaborate with partner teams, service owners, Information Security, and senior leadership to drive the resolution of security findings.

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.
