Vancouver, Canada Amazon Full time

Help us protect not only the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing environment but all of our customers as well Since 2006, our great team at AWS has been enabling our customers to bring great ideas to life in ways that aren’t possible in traditional IT environments. With AWS you can flexibly harness compute, storage, security, and other services from across the globe as your business demands them. AWS 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.

AWS Security is looking for an Application Security Engineer to help validate that our services, applications, and websites are designed and implemented to the highest security standards. You will be responsible for analyzing the security of applications and services, discovering and addressing security issues, building security automation, and quickly reacting to new threat scenarios. You will have the opportunity to learn from, and be mentored by, those who are building and securing our cutting-edge services.

A Security Engineer at Amazon is expected to be strong in multiple domains and provide significant contributions to the AWS IT Security team and to multiple groups throughout Amazon. Security engineers are expected to develop elegant solutions to complex business problems and apply appropriate technologies while following security engineering best practices. You are also expected to mentor more junior engineers and be a security thought leader for the organization.

A Security Engineer must foster constructive dialogue and seek resolution when confronted with discordant views. Engineers in this role are expected to participate fully in the planning of the AWS IT Security team’s work and constantly seek opportunities for process improvement. They should also have a deep understanding of at least one specialty for which they are a sought out resource (both within AWS IT Security and by groups throughout Amazon), while having an understanding of the application of Information Security in a broad range of technical areas.

A successful candidate will need a combination of troubleshooting, technical, and communication skills, as well as the ability to handle a mix of disparate tasks which may include project and software development work.

  1. Application security reviews
  2. Mobile security reviews
  3. Secure architecture design
  4. Threat modeling
  5. Projects and research work as needed
  6. Security training and outreach to internal development teams
  7. Security guidance documentation
  8. Security tool development
  9. Security metrics delivery and improvements
  10. Assistance with recruiting activities and administrative work

A day in the life
As a security engineer, you will perform various day-to-day activities related to ensuring the security of Amazon's systems. These tasks may include conducting application security reviews to identify vulnerabilities in software applications that could be exploited by attackers, performing penetration testing to assess the effectiveness of existing security controls and identify potential weaknesses, providing training and outreach to internal development teams to improve their understanding of security best practices, developing security guidance documentation to help others understand how to implement secure systems and applications, developing security tools to automate or streamline security processes, delivering security metrics to stakeholders and working on improving the overall security posture of your organization. Additionally, you may also be involved in recruiting activities and administrative work related to these tasks.
