Job Description:

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a high-speed Security Engineer passionate about security at scale. You will be part of a team focused on active defense, detecting and mitigating security incidents automatically.

You will enhance security for large, complex cloud solutions and collaborate with data scientists and engineers to design, test, and implement detection and mitigation controls. Your role includes analyzing raw data to extract insights and working with threat intelligence and incident response teams to automate attacker analysis methodologies.

You will have access to extensive security data sources and unlimited processing resources. While AWS experience is beneficial, strong skills in security detection, response controls, and coding are more important. You should be strategic yet action-oriented.

If you enjoy analyzing complex datasets, find sigmoid functions interesting, and have coding skills to handle large data, we want to hear from you.
