You will also leverage AI and automation to scale and mechanize content security operations.

• Manage security assessments of 3rd party services and tools supporting Amazon Studios, including intake of production team requests and end‑to‑end vendor security coordination.
• Research, evaluate, and pilot next‑generation content security measures such as forensic watermarking, audio/video fingerprinting, and content tracking technologies.
• Contribute to the team’s strategy for securing pre‑release content against generative AI threats, including AI‑driven extraction, reconstruction, deepfake misuse, and model training on unreleased assets; translate emerging risks into actionable controls and standards.
