Security Engineer II, AWS Infrastructure Services Incident Response

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

At Amazon Web Services (AWS), we provide world-class, flexible, scalable, and secure cloud services to the world’s fastest-growing startups, the largest enterprises, and leading government agencies. We do this by building, maintaining, and securing one of the largest, most complex networks in the world. Within AWS, the Infrastructure Security (InfraSec) team is responsible for threat intelligence, vulnerability management, security information and event management (SIEM), incident response, and overall network security across the entire AWS global network.

The InfraSec team is looking for a Security Engineer with deep expertise in security incident response or security operations to join us as a member of the InfraSec Incident Response team. In this role, you will be responsible for leading the investigation, analysis, escalation, and remediation (performing or coordinating) of network security incidents. Additional responsibilities will include maintaining the network security incident response plan, partnership with other AWS teams, and driving after action policy and governance changes. Finally, you will partner with Threat Intelligence and Detection Engineering Security Engineers to improve the team's detection and response capabilities.

AWS leads and innovates. We don’t just buy off-the-shelf software or follow others. We research and pursue the best approach for the business, whether that’s building new solutions or leveraging existing ones. AWS, and InfraSec in particular, operate at massive scale and as a result, demand the highest standards, passion, and discipline for information security and software engineering. A high level of ownership and accountability is a must for this role.
