Security Engineer, AWS Cloud Security Response

Job ID: 2778647 | Amazon Web Services, Inc.

The AWS Cloud Response Team manages the security and availability of AWS Cloud services. We operate on the ‘AWS’ side of the Shared Responsibility Model to ensure “Security of the Cloud” and to protect our customers. This role requires engineers to work tactically with both internal and external stakeholders to solve security challenges at massive scale, and to think strategically to develop and implement changes to drive automation, scalability and continuous progress for the organization.

An ideal candidate should possess most of the following:

  1. Be able to assess technical vs. business risks and consistently drive internal engineering teams to take the right actions in the appropriate time frames to mitigate risks.
  2. Have a good mix of broad and deep technical knowledge and a demonstrated background in information security.
  3. Be technically proficient in the fields of network and operating system security, cryptography, software security, security operations, incident response, and emergent security intelligence.
  4. Possess a combination of troubleshooting, technical, and communication skills, as well as the ability to manage a mix of disparate tasks which may include small-project and software development work.
  5. Be comfortable challenging and escalating to senior leadership to always ensure the best outcome for customers.
Key job responsibilities

A successful candidate will need a combination of troubleshooting, technical, and communication skills, as well as the ability to handle a mix of disparate tasks which may include small-projects in addition to managing incident response activities. This role will provide career growth opportunities as you gain new security skills in the course of your duties.

  1. Triage new incoming issues to determine the level of risk they present to AWS, and then accordingly prioritize its remediation in conjunction with the impacted service team.
  2. Communicate the state of these issues to various audiences, both technical and non-technical, at various levels of seniority (up to and including AWS’ Chief Information Security Officer).
  3. Participate in efforts to promote security throughout the Company and build good working relationships within the team and with others across Amazon.
  4. Demonstrate high capacity and tolerance for extreme context switching and interruptions while remaining productive and effective.
  5. Escalate issues to senior AWS leadership if you feel your issues are not progressing at the correct pace based on impact to ensure we are putting customers first.
  6. Explore building and improving our tooling to make your own life easier and share that benefit with all our engineers globally.
  7. Assistance with recruiting activities and administrative work.
  8. Fulfill regular on-call responsibilities.
A day in the life

This position supports AWS with security operations and incident response activities. You will be responsible for coordinating and facilitating security response activities for all AWS products and services. You will drive security related issues to resolution across numerous service teams, interacting directly with those teams and other AWS Security engineers.
