• Review application architectures. The environment will typically be a Linux-based OS running on AWS, though sometimes on a device.
• Develop threat models
• Review security controls in code and cloud configurations
• Assist teams with mitigations through documentation and proof of concept demonstrations in code and configurations.

• Assist in gathering metrics on the effectiveness of our security work
  
  

A day in the life

Whether you work in the Seattle area or Sunnyvale, you'll have other security engineers around to collaborate with on novel risks and to brainstorm fixes.

You'll occasionally be on-call, routing some tickets to specialists while taking ownership of other issues raised by Alexa and Fire TV engineering, privacy, business and security teams. Your solutions will build trust with our customer teams, diving deep and delivering practical mechanisms to reduce risk, finding the best solution for each unique business.

You'll regularly meet with the product engineering teams to learn about their work and to help them adopt security best practices.

Basic Qualifications

• 3+ years of programming in Python, Ruby, Go, Swift, Java, .Net, C++ or similar object oriented language experience
