Job description

This role involves protecting HR and Legal applications at Amazon by executing security assessments and code reviews. The team, known as SEALS, focuses on continuous automated evaluation to secure applications that utilize GenAI and agentic capabilities. Engineers will work closely with builders to ensure security feedback is integrated early in the development process. The position emphasizes collaboration, curiosity, and clear communication while addressing evolving security challenges.

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience with web protocols, common security attacks, and remediation.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Knowledge of system security vulnerabilities and remediation techniques, including penetration testing.
  • Experience solving basic problems by writing code or scripts with some assistance.
  • Experience with AWS services or other cloud offerings.

Responsibilities

  • Execute security assessments and code reviews for HR and Legal applications.
  • Contribute to threat models for applications in your domain.
  • Help author and refine automated detection rules for code commits.
  • Support builder teams in adopting secure-by-default infrastructure.
  • Investigate security findings and confirm their impact.
  • Contribute to security automation and tooling to reduce manual effort.
  • Document work clearly for other engineers to understand.
  • Communicate security risks to the team and leadership.

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.
