Description

At Amazon, security is central to maintaining customer trust and delivering delightful customer experiences. Our organization is responsible for creating and maintaining a high bar for security across all of Amazon's products and services. We offer talented security professionals the chance to accelerate their careers with opportunities to build experience in a wide variety of areas including cloud, devices, retail, entertainment, healthcare, operations, and physical stores.

What do you know about protecting sensitive data? What about fine-grained access control (FGAC) on Big Data? Or attribute-based access control (ABAC) and context based authorization? What about catching bad actors that are abusing Amazon services? Or attacks that could potentially lead to a widespread data breach? Do you know how to generate activity-based intelligence (ABI) through anomaly detection?

In Security Products we build Access Policy Management systems to enable all Amazon teams to apply FGAC to their sensitive data. We build products that apply context based authorization to solve the problem of over-permissioning. We apply Machine Learning Techniques in our Monitored Access (MA) abuse detection program to preemptively detect and mitigate internal and external malicious actors. We do this to protect Amazon customer, seller, vendor and employee information across from constantly changing abuse actor behaviors and patterns.

In our newly created organization we have a rare opportunity to engage with multiple Amazon organizations and groups of experienced tech leaders to build products with impact at an impressive scale (hundreds of thousands of services).

As a manager, you will own the strategic roadmap, architecture and vision for the entire product; you will provide hands-on technical leadership to your peers; you'll be in constant contact with clients and stakeholders, negotiating approaches and deliveries.
Successful candidates for this position must have experience in growing and coaching a highly qualified team of software engineers. They must possess strong verbal and written communication skills, be self-driven and deliver high quality results in a fast-paced environment.
