We develop the tools that keep Amazon safe from malicious actors by preventing, detecting, and mitigating security events. We work closely with our Application Security, Threat Intel, Security Operations, and Security Analyst teams to drive security improvements across the company. Our team deals with large quantities of data, pushing the envelope on scale and various advanced analytical techniques to find and mitigate security threats. You’ll be expected to develop robust large scale distributed systems for processing data, and to provide technical leadership to other engineers to do the same.

You’ll develop a broad and deep understanding of the overall Amazon security posture and develop many of the core technology components to improve and scale. The mission of the Mitigation and Remediation for Security (MARS) team within Amazon Cloud Management Foundations is to auto-remediate security findings across Amazon. This requires building large distributed systems that are capable of auditing for potential misconfigurations, executing auto-remediation workflows safely and monitoring business critical services and applications. This team drives auto-remediation across Amazon at scale, ensuring we maintain the security bar for our customers with the least amount of builder toil.
