You are expected to be strong in multiple security domains and provide significant contributions to the Engineering team and to multiple groups throughout Amazon. You are expected to closely work with service teams to develop secure solutions to complex business problems and ensure we are holding a high security bar for our customers.

You will have a keen eye for potential problems and inefficiencies, and the initiative and drive to provide a complete solution to the problem.
