AWS Network Security is looking for Sr. Security Engineers who can drive and

improve Identity outcomes across the network for the largest cloud provider in

the world. AWS is architected to be the most flexible and secure cloud computing

environment available today. Our core infrastructure is built to satisfy the

security requirements for the government, global banks, and other

high-sensitivity organizations but the challenge doesn’t end there as each day

on data and facts.

This is an excellent opportunity to join Amazon's world class technical team,

working with some of the best and brightest engineers while also developing your

skills and furthering your career within one of the most innovative and

progressive technology companies anywhere. The right candidate must thrive in

relevant teams to take the right actions in the right timeframes to mitigate

risks.

The successful candidate will have a good mix of deep technical knowledge and a

demonstrated background in network security and software systems, specifically

with Identity and Access Management (IAM). We value broad and deep technical
