Security Engineer, WWPS SOLUTIONS ARCHITECTS
Arlington, Virginia
Employer: Amazon
Industry: Systems, Quality, \u0026 Security Engineering
Salary: $136000 per year
Job type: Full-Time
This position requires that the selected candidate has U.S. citizenship.
Amazon Web Services is looking for a security focused Engineer for the Controlled Working Environment (CWE) program. We are seeking an experienced and motivated Security Engineer (SE) to expand our Security Operating Center (SOC) and maintain security compliance in this working environment. The right candidate must thrive in high-pressure situations, think like both an attacker and defender, and drive relevant teams to take the right actions in the right time frames to mitigate risks.
We are looking for an individual with a deep understanding on how to balance business and technical risk that can effect the program. The candidate should be able to identify IT risks, define a mitigation plan to remediate, and consistently drive for the right results. They must have a passion for engineering novel solutions to complex security challenges, and recognize and fill gaps in capabilities. The ability to quickly design and build internal-facing tools that enable scaled programmatic automation is a plus.
The successful candidate will have a good mix of broad technical knowledge and a demonstrated background in information security. We value broad and deep technical knowledge, specifically in the fields of Windows forensics, Cloud security, security operations, incident response, network security, and emergent security intelligence.
An ideal candidate should be able to accomplish most of the following:
* Confidently and intelligently respond to security incidents, and proactively consider how to prevent the same type of incidents from occurring in the future.
* Design and coordinate cohesive responses to security events that involve multiple teams across the organization.
* Build security utilities and tools that enable the team to operate at high speed and wide scale.
* Evaluate the impact of current security threats, advisories, publications, and academic research to the organization. Identify plans of action and coordinate as necessary across teams to mitigate risk.
* Ability to communicate effectively at different levels of sensitivity, knowledge, and audiences.
* Recognize, adopt, and instill the best practices of security engineering throughout the organization
* Fulfill regular on-call responsibilities.
Amazon has a fast-paced environment where we "Work Hard, Have Fun, Make History." On a "typical" day engineers might deep dive to root cause a customer issue, investigate why a metric is trending the wrong way, consult with the top engineers at Amazon, or discuss radical new approaches to automate operational issues.
