Job description

Description

At AWS, Security is priority zero. AWS Compliance, Assurance, and Privacy Services (CAPS) is looking for a technically deep security controls specialist to serve as a steward for a portfolio of technical security and compliance control areas. These areas are built into how AWS designs, builds, deploys and operates its services, including areas such as secure software development, application security, service resilience and change management. You won't operate the controls yourself. Instead, you'll work with the engineering and service teams who do to clearly capture how their controls are designed, implemented and evidenced. That way, the control's purpose and effectiveness are understood across AWS, from service and leadership teams to the compliance and audit teams who represent those controls externally. You'll make sure the controls in your areas are well defined, technically accurate, consistent with one another, and give the right scope and coverage for AWS's compliance obligations. To do this well, you'll need to understand the underlying engineering mechanisms, such as development pipelines, code review and testing practices, deployment safety and resilience patterns, well enough to judge whether a control works as described. CAPS works across AWS to drive strategic security initiatives, deliver tooling and automation, and support customers in regulated industries such as Healthcare, Finance and Government.
