About the team

The Operational Research and Development team sits within Amazon Security. We are a mixed team of Security Engineers and Software Development Engineers who share a single mission: make security incident response so fast and accurate that human involvement becomes a choice, not a necessity.

Our engineers own what they build. Each person carries meaningful end-to-end ownership of production systems, from design through deployment and operational excellence. We prototype rapidly, ship iteratively, and treat every manual step in our response pipelines as a problem to solve permanently.

The team values directness, intellectual honesty, and a bias toward building over discussing. We maintain a flexible, distributed working culture and core collaboration hours that respect personal time.

We are intentional about building an inclusive environment where diverse backgrounds and perspectives drive better security outcomes. Whether your path to security engineering was traditional or not, what matters is your ability to think critically about threats and translate that thinking into systems that act autonomously.

Diverse Experiences

Amazon Security values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.
