Application Security Engineer, AWS Product Security

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Security is seeking a Security Engineer to join their Product Security team. This role offers an exciting opportunity to go beyond traditional AWS protection and make a direct impact on new technical initiatives at Amazon. Since 2006, AWS has been at the forefront of enabling customers to bring innovative ideas to life in ways not possible in traditional IT environments.

As a Security Engineer, you'll be responsible for designing security controls and ensuring that services, applications, and emerging technologies meet the highest security standards. You'll work with teams developing cutting-edge technologies that require specialized security expertise beyond conventional IT and security frameworks. Your role involves analyzing application and service security, identifying and addressing security issues, developing security automation, and taking decisive action to mitigate emerging threats throughout the secure development life-cycle (SDLC).

The position offers significant career growth opportunities as you develop new security skills. You'll have the chance to experiment, learn, build tools, and work with teams developing new technology and services at massive scale. You'll both learn from experienced security professionals and serve as a mentor to others, becoming a trusted security advisor within the organization.

Key responsibilities include shaping new services through security reviews, implementing SDLC practices, influencing decision-makers to maintain high security standards, conducting penetration testing, creating security documentation, developing security tools, and delivering security training. You'll lead security projects with end-to-end ownership across AWS and Amazon initiatives.

The ideal candidate will combine strong technical expertise with excellent communication skills, demonstrating the ability to translate complex technical issues into business risk terms for non-technical stakeholders. You'll work in an inclusive team culture that values diverse experiences and continuous learning, with access to extensive training and career development resources. Amazon Security offers a supportive environment that promotes work-life harmony and provides opportunities to work on some of the most challenging security problems at global scale.
