Sr. Security Engineering Manager, Devices and Services Security

Job ID: 10568261 | Amazon.com Services LLC

Amazon Devices & Services builds products that customers invite into the most personal spaces of their lives — their homes, their cars, their pockets. Earning and keeping that trust is a security mission, and we are looking for a Senior Security Engineering Manager to lead it.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Lead and grow a high-performing team. Build, develop, and retain a team of security engineers and managers; coach leaders, raise the performance bar, and drive continuous improvement toward a higher standard of security engineering excellence.

• Establish stakeholder mechanisms. Build durable mechanisms between your team and its internal and external customers — clear intake, prioritization, reporting, and feedback loops that scale.
• Partner with Product Management. Work closely with Product Managers, hold them to a high bar, and ensure security is designed in from the start rather than bolted on.
• Operate at the executive level. Communicate risk, strategy, and results credibly to VP and C-suite leaders, and influence decisions with backbone and customer obsession.
