Software Development Manager, AWS Vulnerability Management - Automated Remediation, AWS Vulnerability Management

At Amazon Web Services (AWS), Security is our highest priority. The AWS Security team is responsible for the security of services offered by AWS. The AWS Vulnerability Management team is responsible for driving innovative enhancements that raise the bar for how Amazon Builders discover, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities across their resources, systems, and data. At AWS' scale, we must invent new security capabilities that let Builders move fast while vulnerabilities are resolved quickly, with minimal manual effort.

The successful candidate loves working with engineering and business teams across the AWS Security organization to understand their needs, and partners with software and security engineers to design and build the automation that makes remediation effortless for Builders. You are passionate about eliminating manual toil and you want to solve real security problems  think in terms of capabilities that detect, decide, and act, so that the work in front of a Builder shrinks to a single click or disappears entirely.

As a Software Development Manager you will own the capabilities that power touchless remediation for Amazon Builders: the strategy, the goals, the requirements, and the mechanisms that deliver them. You will own the systems that apply AI and automated response actions at machine speed, closing the gap between detection and resolution so that Builders can remediate in minutes rather than days or weeks.

You will partner with Engineering, TPMs, and cross-functional teams to equip Builders across the organization with automation that reduces their security work to the smallest possible action. You will own the delivery of industry-leading capabilities that combine descriptive and predictive analytics with security engineering, automating the complex work behind remediation and producing insights for our Builders and our customers.

One of the central challenges you will own is continuing to transform vulnerability remediation so that time to remediation drops to minutes. You will push the boundaries of what automation can do, building capabilities that generate ready-to-ship fixes, safely apply automated response actions at machine speed, and progressively expand the scope of findings that can be resolved with little or no manual effort, all while holding the safety, correctness, and trust bar that Amazon's scale demands.

Builders stay accountable for their resources, but the capabilities you own make resolving a finding fast, safe, and nearly effortless.

You will need a deeply analytical and systems architecture mindset with the ability to tackle complex and ambiguous challenges and effectively influence stakeholders across the AWS Security organization. This is a high-impact and high-visibility role that requires not only strategic vision and inventing on behalf of customers, but also strong execution, technical depth, analytical rigor, and excellent communication.
