Date: 17 hours ago
City: Reading
Contract type: Full time
Description
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the leading cloud provider, providing virtualized infrastructure, storage, networking, messaging, and many other services to customers all over the world. AWS runs a globally distributed environment, operating at massive levels of scale. Businesses, from start-ups to enterprises, run their operations and applications on AWS’ multi-tenant infrastructure.
Key job responsibilities
As a Senior Security Engineer, you’ll help to build and manage services that detect and automate the mitigation of cybersecurity threats across Amazon’s infrastructure. You’ll work with data scientists, software development engineers, and other security engineers across multiple teams to develop innovative security solutions. Our services protect the AWS cloud for all customers and preserves our customers’ trust in us. You’ll get to use the full power and breadth of AWS technologies to build services that proactively protect AWS customers, both internally and externally, from security threats.
You will be working in a team of industry-leading security experts working with UK customers to operate and continuously improve industry-leading security programs and processes. This team manages the underlying security programs and processes for personnel security, physical and logical accreditations, education, awareness and training, assurance, and cyber security. This position will have visibility at senior levels of government agencies, commercial institutions, and AWS including interaction with CISOs, CTOs, their staffs, and AWS senior leadership.
In addition to a strong understanding of security technologies, tool development, offensive and defensive security tactics, and ideally some experience with distributed systems, you’ll need a number of other qualities to be successful in this role. The team has a mix of experience levels, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior engineers, data scientists, and managers truly enjoy mentoring junior engineers, data scientists, and engineers from non-traditional backgrounds through one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews.
