You'll be leading the data ingestion and intelligence team that design and build systems that process millions of events per second, develop machine learning-powered fraud detection processes, and directly contribute to keeping AWS safe. Whether it's architecting a new real-time detection engine, optimizing our graph-based fraud network analysis, or hardening our registration fraud defenses - your work will have immediate, measurable impact at AWS scale.
Key job responsibilities
* Own and operate a large-scale data ingestion platform processing 18+ billion events per day, ensuring data is ingested, enriched, and transformed in near real-time to power fraud detection and prevention across the organization.
* Lead the design, development, and maintenance of real-time intelligence pipelines using Apache Flink for data aggregation, anomaly detection, and usage pattern analysis.
* Drive the development of a graph database of millions of nodes and edges to model account relationships and surface fraud signals.
* Ensure high availability, reliability, and scalability of all platform services, including data vending APIs operating at 4,500+ TPS, as business demands and the AWS customer base grow.
* Own day-to-day team operations, including sprint planning, technical design reviews, operational excellence, and on-call management.
* Plan and execute the team's multi-year technical strategy, aligning platform capabilities with evolving business and security needs.
* Collaborate closely with Applied Scientists to identify and deliver the data products they need to detect and prevent fraud and account compromise faster.
* Serve as a technical leader with hands-on depth, diving deep with SDEs to review architectures, and resolve platform issues.
* Ensure platform services meet the needs of all downstream engineering and data science teams across the organization who depend on this team's products.
