Application Security Engineer, AWS Security
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, application instructions. Also remove "Amazon is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "If the country/region you’re applying in isn’t listed..." etc. Also remove "Learn more about our benefits at ..."? That's a link; maybe we can keep benefits description but drop the link? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The benefits link might be considered navigation? It's a link to benefits page; could be considered navigation. Safer to remove that sentence. Keep benefits description text.
We need to include pay range: "USA, TX, Austin - 159,300.00 - 202,400.00 USD annually" and "USA, WA, Seattle - 159,300.00 - 202,400.00 USD annually". Also "Company - Amazon.com Services LLC". Probably we can include pay section with those ranges.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Let's extract content.
Description: first paragraph: "Help us protect not only the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud computing environment but all of our customers as well! Since 2006, our great team at AWS has been enabling our customers to bring great ideas to life in ways that aren’t possible in traditional IT environments. With AWS you can flexibly harness compute, storage, security, and other services from across the globe as your business demands them. AWS Security manages many security issues for a wide variety of platforms and technologies including cloud services, Internet of things (IoT), identity and access management, mobile devices, virtualization and custom hardware, all operating at massive scale. Similarly, our highly collaborative team is committed to each team member’s growth as our business grows. AWS Security is looking for an Application Security Engineer to help validate that our services, applications, and websites are designed and implemented to the highest security standards. You will be responsible for analyzing the security of applications and services, discovering and addressing security issues, building security automation, and quickly reacting to new threat scenarios. You will have the opportunity to learn from, and be mentored by, those who are building and securing our services. A Security Engineer at Amazon is expected to be strong in multiple domains and provide significant contributions to the AWS IT Security team and to multiple groups throughout Amazon. Security engineers are expected to develop elegant solutions to complex business problems and apply appropriate technologies while following security engineering best practices. You are also expected to mentor more junior engineers and be a security thought leader for the organization. A Security Engineer must foster constructive dialogue and seek resolution when confronted with discordant views. Engineers in this role are expected to participate fully in the planning of the AWS IT Security team's work and constantly seek opportunities for process improvement. They should also have a deep understanding of at least one specialty for which they are a sought out resource (both within AWS IT Security and by groups throughout Amazon), while having an understanding of the application of Information Security in a broad range of technical areas. A successful candidate will need a combination of troubleshooting, technical, and communication skills, as well as the ability to handle a mix of disparate tasks which may include project and software development work. This role will provide career growth opportunities as you gain new security skills in the course of your duties."
That's the "About the role" prose.
Then "Key job responsibilities" list:
- Application security reviews
- Penetration testing
- Projects and research work as needed
- Security training and outreach to internal development teams
- Security guidance documentation
- Security tool development
- Security metrics delivery and improvements
- Assistance with recruiting activities and administrative work
Then "About The Team" subsections: Diverse Experiences, Why Amazon Security?, Inclusive Team Culture, Training & Career Growth, Work/Life Balance. These are more about company culture; could be part of About the role or maybe separate? But we only need sections when posting has real specific content. Could include "About the Team" as part of About the role? But we have only defined headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The "About The Team" content could be folded into About the role or maybe omitted? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could incorporate team description into About the role. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can include it in About the role paragraph.
Thus About the role will include the initial description plus the team sections.
Now Requirements: Basic Qualifications list:
- 3+ years of programming in Python, Ruby, Go, Swift, Java, .Net, C++ or similar object oriented language experience
- 2+ years of scripting, programming, and security code review in a common programming language (non-internship) experience
- 2+ years of troubleshooting systems issues, analyzing logs, or automating basic tasks using command line tools (non-internship) experience
- Bachelor's degree in a STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), or 2+ years of IT Security experience
- Knowledge of networking protocols such as HTTP, DNS and TCP/IP
- Knowledge of industry-based security vulnerabilities and remediation techniques
We should put these as
- .
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list:
- 2+ years of any combination of the following: threat modeling experience, secure coding, identity management and authentication, software development, cryptography, system administration and network security experience
- 2+ years of scripting, programming, or security code review in a common language, such as Python, Java or C++ experience
- Knowledge of networking protocols, to include HTTP(S), DNS, and TCP/IP
- Experience in scripting, programming, or security code reviewing in a common language, such as Python, Java, or C++
- Experience performing security activities across one or more phases of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), such as security design review, threat modeling, secure code review, and security testing
Note some duplication; we keep as is.
Skills: Could be derived from responsibilities? But we might not need a separate Skills section if not explicitly listed. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading; we could omit Skills section if no specific content. However we could extract skills from responsibilities and qualifications, but that would be summarizing. Better to omit Skills section if not explicitly present. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. So we omit Skills.
Benefits: The posting includes: "Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave." Also earlier: "Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs)." Also "We offer talented security professionals the chance to accelerate their careers with opportunities to build experience in a wide variety of areas including cloud, devices, retail, entertainment, healthcare, operations, and physical stores." That's more about career growth; could be part of About the role. But benefits section should include the benefits list.
We should also include sign-on payments and RSUs as part of benefits? Could be part of Pay? But Pay section is for salary range. Benefits: health insurance, 401(k) matching, paid time off, parental leave, sign-on payments, RSUs. Also maybe "flexible work hours and arrangements" from Work/Life Balance; but that's not a benefit per se but could be included in Benefits or About the role. We'll include flexible work hours in Benefits? Might be better to keep in About the role.
We'll create Benefits section with
- items.
Pay: Include the two location salary ranges. Also maybe mention "Company - Amazon.com Services LLC". Could include as part of Pay section? Probably just pay.
Schedule: No schedule info, so omit.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll produce:

We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. Good.
Now we need to combine About the role description with team sections. Let's craft a concise but preserving all info.
Original description includes many sentences; we need to keep them all. We'll just copy the description paragraphs as is, plus the team sections content (Diverse Experiences, Why Amazon Security?, Inclusive Team Culture, Training & Career Growth, Work/Life Balance). We'll combine into one maybe long; but it's okay.
We must ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Amazon is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. We'll exclude those.
Now let's write About the role paragraph:
