Security Engineer
Overview
Job Description
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security Analytics team is looking for a Security Engineer who has a strong passion for security-at-scale. You will be part of a team focused on active defense, which detects and mitigates security incidents without a human in the loop. You will directly improve security for the largest cloud on earth. You will work with data scientists and engineers to design, test, and implement detection and mitigation controls for Amazon. You'll function as a data analyst and investigator, extracting knowledge from raw data, and answering functional questions about the 'texture' of the data as well. You will work with existing threat intelligence and incident response teams to identify and codify attacker and analysis methodology into automated analyses. You will have access to amazing amounts of security-relevant data sources, as well as virtually unlimited resources to process that data. While experience with AWS is nice, its more important to have a good handle on security detection and response controls, and ability to code. You will not be directly responsible for incident response, but will directly support those teams with your expertise, analysis, and analytic tools. You will balance long-term strategic thinking with immediate tactical needs, and be able to drive towards a long-term goal with short-term efforts. If you like searching for needles in haystacks of needles, think sigmoid functions are neat, and can fend off hordes of rampaging datasets with your coding-fu, we'd love to hear from you.
