We are looking for a Penetration Testing Engineer who has a strong passion for security-at-scale. You will be on a team responsible for the delivery of continuous assessments. You will be asked to solve complex technology problems, build tools to automate your way out of manual efforts, and influence the way Amazon services respond to and mitigate threats.
Amazon 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.
We are looking for a Security Engineer to help ensure our services, applications, and websites are designed and implemented to the highest security standards.

Your work focuses on ambiguous problem areas in existing or new hardware and software initiatives. You take a long term view of your team's processes & software, understanding how it fits into the business. You proactively fix architectural deficiencies and/or propose larger project scopes, which may require the work of a team. You split that work into parallel tasks that can be performed by you and others and then reassembled successfully.
Amazon's Leadership Principles of "Dive Deep", "Earn Trust", "Deliver Results", and "Invent and Simplify" will be called upon daily. A successful candidate will need a combination of troubleshooting, technical, and communication skills, as well as the ability to handle a mix of complex decisions.
