The Enterprise Protection Program (EPP) is seeking a Security Engineer who can hunt through data from internal and external sources to identify, investigate, and mitigate insider threats to Amazon.

You will lead investigations into active insider threats to Amazon on a daily basis. We are looking for someone who is a fan of "diving deep"; someone who enjoys building queries and processing data to identify and pursue security issues.

You will also work with team members and partners within our legal, engineering, analytics, and prevention teams to develop proactive insider threat solutions. You will be effective both working independently and cooperatively across partner teams and able to contribute and deliver results.

This position involves on-call responsibilities, typically for one week every two months.

This is a senior role where you will be expected to drive the process and tool development needed to reduce the insider threat risk to Amazon.

Create quantitative feedback mechanisms to drive automation and optimization of analytics and tools.

Communicate and collaborate with partner teams and the security community across Amazon.

Coach junior analyst/investigators to improve their skills and effectiveness.

A day in the life
You will work on high impact cases and projects that seek to reduce the insider threat risk to Amazon. You will meet frequently with internal security customers, partners, and engineering teams. You will collaborate with numerous Amazon and AWS service teams. You will lead the development of tools and processes which seek to simplify and scale insider threat best practices.

This is a senior role where you focus not only on how to achieve effective insider threat risk reductions, but also help define the processes and tools which are needed through a deep understanding of the overall landscape and challenges.
