Do you enjoy finding unique security issues? Do you enjoy protecting customers at scale? On the Amazon Penetration Testing team, you will be responsible for the delivery of continuous assessments. You will be asked to solve complex technology problems, build tools to automate your way out of manual efforts, and influence the way Amazon services respond to and mitigate threats.

Our team is responsible for the manual assessment of all products, services and software released by Amazon. We specialize in digging deep to find security issues that static analysis tools can’t, and write the tooling to help with these goals whenever possible. The Amazon surface area is large and diverse, and we use results found in manual analysis to help improve our enterprise-wide automation to proactively spot and fix potential security issues to protect customers.

Key job responsibilities
- Perform penetration testing of complex proprietary software and hardware for Amazon services.
- Manually audit the source code of web services and software authored in house by Amazon.
- Write proof of concept code to demonstrate the severity of a potential security issue.
- Provide clear communication on issues to developers that suggest and help to test the fix.
- Provide actionable long term risk mitigation guidance.
