AWS is the largest cloud provider in the world, serving nearly one‑third of all internet traffic.

One in two of our customers come to us for help creating the future of the internet, and you will own the customer experience for the cloud‑based tools they use.

The AWS Application Security Team is looking for a curious and motivated engineer and leader to build great automations, generative AI tools, workflows, and back‑end engines for our customers. We own protecting customers and hardening all the services and features we launch for those customers.

They are also expected to mentor more junior engineers and be a security thought leader for their organization.

We have the opportunity to have organizational impact and the mandate to do it. A new team member can expect to iterate quickly, to try and experiment often, while not being afraid to fail fast when needed to work on the next item.
