Description
- Amazon Web Services is looking for an experienced Security Engineering Manager to join the Security Analytics and AI Research group within AWS Security Services. This group is entrusted with researching and developing core detection and machine learning algorithms for services such as AWS GuardDuty (https://aws.amazon.com/guardduty/) and AWS Security Hub (https://aws.amazon.com/security-hub/). On this team, you will lead engineers to invent and implement innovative solutions for never-before-solved problems. If you have experience with information security and a passion for large scale threat detection systems, this will be an exciting opportunity. This is an advanced engineering team that is using novel techniques to help customers detect and respond to threats across their cloud workloads. This role will specifically lead the security engineering team associated to GuardDuty, a service which continuously monitors AWS accounts and workloads for malicious activity using machine learning, anomaly detection, and threat intelligence. This role will collaborate closely with applied scientists and partner engineer teams to continuously improve threat detection across multiple data domains — including CloudTrail analytics, runtime monitoring, network traffic analysis, and AI workload protection. GuardDuty produces security findings aligned to the MITRE ATT&CK and ATLAS frameworks, therefore this role will also support the organization in advancing detection coverage and reducing false positives at scale. The AWS Security Services team builds technologies that help customers strengthen their security posture and better meet security requirements in the AWS Cloud. We are building massively scalable and globally distributed security systems to power next generation services. Key job responsibilities Lead and develop a team of security experts building novel detection solutions at AWS scale Own the security value of GuardDuty detections, leading operational reviews and prioritizing improvement opportunities Collaborate with science and engineering teams to deliver detections to production across runtime, network, CloudTrail, and AI protection domains Stay up to date with the ever changing cloud security and threat landscape, including emerging threats targeting agentic AI applications Work backwards from our customers to drive product roadmaps and detection coverage improvements Drive detection engineering best practices including attack simulation, security value evaluation, and coverage measurement About the team Security Analytics and AI Research (SAAR) The AWS SAAR team's mission is to provide security value to our customers by inventing and innovating at the intersection of information security and AI. We aim to bridge the gap between information security and AI by bringing together domain expertise from both sides. Our solutions reach to our customers through various AWS Security Services. We are a group of AI researchers and security engineers under AWS Security Services focusing on information security problems. We come from different backgrounds and we all have passion for security. We often work on never-before-solved problems and strive for advancing the state of the art. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that's why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses. Diverse Experiences AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn't followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don't let it stop you from applying. Work/Life Balance We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there's nothing we can't achieve in the cloud. Inclusive Team Culture Here at AWS, it's in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
