Security Engineer II, Stores Security - HealthCare

Description

Amazon Healthcare Security's (Health Sec) Detections & Monitoring team is hiring a Security Engineer II to design, build, and operate detection and monitoring capabilities that protect Amazon Health Services (AHS) across cloud infrastructure, applications, endpoints, and AI-powered systems. You will work at the intersection of detection engineering and security operations-building detection-as-code pipelines, developing automated investigation and response workflows, and extending monitoring coverage to emerging AI and agentic application architectures.

Working closely with AHS engineering teams, peer security teams, and incident responders, you will ensure that threats targeting healthcare workloads are detected rapidly and investigated efficiently, while maintaining HIPAA compliance and Amazon's security bar. You will also leverage AI/LLM-powered tooling to scale detection, triage, and response beyond traditional approaches.

Key job responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain detection-as-code capabilities across cloud infrastructure (Cloud Trail, Guard Duty, VPC Flow Logs), SaaS applications, endpoints, and identity systems, improving coverage and signal quality

Develop and deploy detections and monitoring for agentic applications and AI services, including anomaly detection for LLM-powered tools, agent orchestration systems, and AI service APIs

Build automated investigation and response workflows that replace manual runbooks, leveraging AI to scale triage, enrichment, containment, and remediation

Develop and deploy AI/LLM-powered tooling to accelerate investigations, reduce alert fatigue, and extend team capacity beyond traditional headcount constraints

Continuously monitor telemetry data, alerting systems, and dashboards for early signals of degradation, compromise, or abuse across AHS environments

Triage and correlate alerts from multiple sources to identify patterns, reduce noise, and surface high-fidelity signals before impact escalates

Lead and participate in incident response, including detection, investigation, containment, and retrospectives, identifying root causes and driving long-term resilience improvements

Partner cross-functionally to expand logging, improve observability, and embed detection capabilities into the development lifecycle

Proactively identify gaps in visibility or detection coverage and translate ambiguous threat landscapes

Develop and maintain security documentation including detection coverage maps, threat models, runbooks, and monitoring architecture guidelines
