You'll work across engineering, security, and business teams to improve processes, remove roadblocks, and ensure researchers have the access and support they need to help raise our security bar.

You'll partner with internal teams to close vulnerabilities quickly and effectively, and you'll help shape the future of how Amazon engages with the global security research community.
