Full Job Description

What happens when you combine startup speed with Amazon-scale impact? You get this team. Amazon Enterprise Security Products is a newly launched group building intelligent, cloud-agnostic security tools using AI-first development practices. Here, you build AI and you build with AI — at the same time. This is not a traditional Security role. It's a chance to shape the future of security tooling with a small, fast team that ships like a startup and deploys like Amazon. Key job responsibilities * Drive security architecture for AI powered products: Lead security decisions across product development workstreams, ensuring AI powered security tooling is secure by design from the ground up. Shape threat models, security patterns, and guardrails that scale across multi cloud environments. * Embed security into the builder experience: Partner with engineering leaders across Amazon Security and AESP to reduce friction for builders developing secure services. Champion security practices that accelerate rather than slow delivery in a fast moving, startup paced environment. * Influence the design of AI integrated security products: Bring deep security expertise to the intersection of AI and product development. Guide the team in building agentic systems, RAG architectures, and intelligent automation pipelines that solve industry wide security problems. * Evaluate and advance AI assisted security practices: Assess how emerging AI capabilities including agentic coding and AI assisted workflows can strengthen security posture, accelerate threat detection, and improve the team's development practices. A day in the life You are the security leader on a fast growing, AI first team where security is not an afterthought but a product differentiator. Your morning might start with a threat modeling session for a new agentic security product, followed by a design review where you're guiding engineers on secure architecture patterns across multi-cloud architectures. After lunch, you're part
