With over 50% of items sold through third-party Sellers, this position offers an opportunity to manage security at scale for a vital part of Amazon's ecosystem.

As a Senior Security Engineer, you'll lead security engineering initiatives to protect services and data, conducting risk assessments, threat modeling, and implementing robust security measures. You'll be a technical thought leader, contributing to security strategy and working directly with teams across the organization from engineers to executives.

The role combines hands-on technical security work with strategic leadership, requiring expertise in application security, cloud services (particularly AWS), and financial technology. You'll work on detecting and preventing security issues at scale, developing automation tools, and building security mechanisms that protect Amazon's Selling Partner Foundation frameworks.

The ideal candidate brings 5+ years of security engineering experience, strong coding abilities, and deep knowledge of security concepts like OWASP Top 10. You'll need excellent communication skills to work with diverse stakeholders and the ability to make data-driven decisions balancing security and business needs.

Benefits include competitive salary ($143,300-$247,600 based on location), equity compensation, and comprehensive medical benefits. This is an exceptional opportunity to shape security practices at scale while working on systems that impact millions of sellers and customers globally.

The role offers significant growth potential within Amazon's security organization, working with cutting-edge technology and some of the most complex security challenges in e-commerce.
