Full Job Description
The Augmented Remediation Insights & Architecture (ARIA) team is building the next generation of automation and tooling that powers how Amazon measures, operates, and accelerates security remediation. Our systems use LLMs and data-driven intelligence to turn manual, reactive processes into automated ones and bar raise our security operation. These applications enable Amazon defensive security and security management teams globally, giving leaders real-time visibility into remediation health across the company. Our customers are Amazon security teams, internal builders, and ultimately Amazon's customers. Our engineers work directly with stakeholders, get close to customers' needs, and are empowered to take technical risks to build the best-in-class software with respect to quality, scale, and insights. The technical foundation this team builds helps keep all of Amazon (Fulfillment Centers, Physical Stores, Whole Foods, Fresh, etc.) secure.

We need folks who have a passion for building intelligent systems that make the right decision at scale. Those with an entrepreneurial spirit to take risks, experiment with new technical methods, and focus on improving what came before will find themselves perfectly at home in our team.

Key job responsibilities

- Software Feature development in Java and Python using AWS services (S3, Lambda, SQS, Fargate/ECS, EMR, Spark, QuickSight etc.)

- Building LLM automation and data insights capabilities at scale

- Setting and achieving a high bar for Operational Excellence

A day in the life

You'll design and build LLM-powered automation, self-serve analytics platforms, and tooling that security teams across Amazon rely on daily. One day you might be fine tuning LLM automation to expand automation in the issue health domain; the next, you're partnering with campaign team to enhance existing campaign lifecycle management workflow.

As a member of ARIA, you'll directly contribute to the S-team goals alongside senior Amazon leadership. Every day brings new challenges: emerging threats, evolving builder needs, and opportunities to utilize intelligent systems to free up security engineering time to tackle real critical risks. Making remediation faster, more accurate, and scalable.
