Job description

Join Amazon as a mid-level Cybersecurity Analyst and spend your days turning transparent requirements into systems that quietly do their job. The mid-level role rewards what you've built — 4 years of Kali Linux — with $107,000 - $151,000 and a voice in Amazon strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Automate the manual SOC 2 Compliance chores that quietly drain Orange, CA engineering hours
• Decode the undocumented SAST service nobody at Amazon remembers writing
• Monitor system health and set up alerting for question-everything production environments
• Pair with cross-functional partners to scope and deliver remote projects
• Pair-program tricky Attention to Detail edge cases with engineers across Orange, CA
• Ship Negotiation experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
• Translate OSCP metrics into the one chart Amazon leadership checks each morning

What You'll Bring

• The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
• Hands-on command of Empathy, with ISO 27001 as a close second
• 5+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
• Critical thinking skills and sound, independent judgment
• The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own

Amazon is an unhurried Orange, CA firm where ISO 27001 isn't a department but the entire reason the lights stay on. Slack threads here stay civil because we critique the OAuth 2.0 work, not the human behind it.

Money matters, so we lead with $107,000 - $151,000; then come the wellness perks, the SAST training, and hours you actually control.
