Demonstrate high capacity for managing priorities appropriately while remaining productive and effective, with tolerance for context switching and interruptions.

Escalate issues early and often, expressing a high degree of security judgment when issues are not progressing at the correct pace based on impact to ensure we are putting customers first.

About the Team

The Cloud Response team is a team inside AWS Security Operations. This team is broadly responsible for the 'AWS' side of the Shared Responsibility Model, providing oversight of security issues from their identification through to resolution.

Cloud Response operates follow-the-sun with teams based around four different geographical locations. We work with AWS security and service teams to ensure security issues are addressed and resolved with the right level of urgency, while keeping our key stakeholders informed and engaged as necessary throughout the issue lifecycle.
