This position will provide you with a challenging opportunity to define and drive fundamental security outcomes for everything underlying the global AWS business, from tangible hardware devices to operational procedures.
The successful candidate must be comfortable diving into complex engineering discussions, and leveraging deep security expertise to ensure proper risk assessment and threat analysis is performed. You will provide crystal-clear technical direction and risk mitigation guidance for diverse engineering and business leaders at all levels.
By applying your hard-earned years of practical security engineering expertise in projects related to enterprise networking, hardware-rooted security, operating system hardening, and cloud-scale administrative infrastructure, you will literally shape the future of cloud computing.
As an Engineering Manager III at Amazon, you own a strategically important system architecture, major technology product, and/or suite of products with significant business impact. As a manager, you are responsible for establishing the right engineering team structure and overall technology strategy to meet a long-term business need. You determine whether it is appropriate to make a case to resource a large engineering initiative (spanning multiple years) and when to prioritize the resolution of an endemic problem over a current request. You are able to recognize where there needs to be a team boundary to better encapsulate technologies and where teams could combine for a better outcome. You are accountable for the execution and overall experience of your engineering team(s), the systems they create, their quality, and how they meet business goals. To make sure everyone understands our Leadership Principles, you audit adherence and drive initiatives that show them in action.
