In 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began offering IT infrastructure services to businesses in the form of web services -- now commonly known as cloud computing. Today, Amazon Web Services provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world. Amazon security is on the cutting edge of many security issues for a wide variety of platforms and technologies including cloud services, Internet of things (IoT), identity and access management, mobile devices, virtualization and custom hardware, all operating at massive scale. The AWS Security team shapes and executes the security model for AWS, addressing important considerations for companies thinking about adopting cloud technology. We are also a product team that develops services to provide access control, threat detection, and DDoS protection, allowing companies to scale and innovate in a secure environment. These solutions enable customers to define their own security policies and help developers build cloud-backed applications that are secure. As a Security Engineer you will work cross-functionally to assess risk and help deliver countermeasures that protect customers and company data. You will work with engineering teams to create solutions that solve or remediate security problems. You'll advise peers, managers, and senior leaders in order to help influence and drive partner-team compliance in the form of data classification, regulatory obligations, and other security goals. The impact of our work, the complexity of the technical challenges we solve, and the volume of requests we process are a testament to the significant part the team plays in ensuring that customers have the security and reliability they need.
