Data Scientist II, Enterprise Security Products
Amazon · Austin, TX · 3 wk ago
EngineeringFull-time
About the role
This role is a chance to shape the future of security tooling with a small, fast team that ships like a startup but deploys at Amazon scale. You'll build the intelligence behind AI-first security products, design and deploy ML models, and work closely with SDEs, applied scientists, security researchers, and PMs.
Responsibilities
- Build the intelligence behind AI-first security products: Design, train, and ship ML models that power agentic systems, anomaly detection, threat classification, and automated response — all running across multi-cloud environments.
- Own the full science lifecycle: From problem framing and data exploration through model development, evaluation, production deployment, and monitoring. You build it, you ship it, you run it.
- Build with AI to build AI: Use agentic coding tools, LLM-powered workflows, and experimental AI tooling to accelerate every phase of your work; from EDA to feature engineering to model iteration. Multiply your velocity and raise the bar for what one scientist can deliver.
- Power agentic architectures: Develop the models, embeddings, RAG pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and feedback loops that make multi-agent security systems smart, safe, and customer-ready.
- Prototype rapidly and validate with customers: Turn hypotheses into prototypes in days, not quarters. Iterate based on real customer signal and ship what works.
- Partner across disciplines: Work directly with SDEs, applied scientists, security researchers, PMs, and UX designers to turn ambiguous problems into shipped solutions. Small team means short lines between you and the decision.
- Communicate with impact: Translate complex modeling results into clear recommendations for engineers, product leaders, and senior executives. Influence direction with data.
- Raise the science bar: Contribute to technical and science reviews, mentor teammates, and champion AI-first development practices. Help shape the science culture of a fast-growing team from the ground floor.
