Security Engineer Manager, SBS Specialized Detections

About the role

Amazon's Specialized Businesses Security team is seeking a Security Engineer Manager to lead our Specialized Detections team. This is a forward-driving leadership role: you will define what this team builds, not maintain what exists today. You will own two detection workstreams that address gaps no other team at Amazon covers.

Responsibilities

• Work backwards from our Business Security Team and Builder customers to define the technical strategy for non-Builder Tools detections and specialized SBS detections
• Build, hire, and develop a team of security engineers focused on detection engineering and security automation
• Apply AI to accelerate detection development, moving from finding to production capability faster than manual rule-writing allows
• Identify coverage gaps in Amazon's detection landscape and prioritize based on exploitability and business impact to customers
• Deliver detection capabilities that produce actionable findings at scale, not reports that sit unread
• Partner with penetration testing, vulnerability intelligence, and AI tooling teams within Adversarial Engineering to create a detection-to-validation feedback loop
• Represent the team's work in business reviews, planning, and cross-org prioritization discussions

Qualifications

• 5+ years of managing and developing teams experience
• 5+ years of progressive work within a software security team or related operating environment experience
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field
• Knowledge of security of web services, video content protection technologies, cryptography, network security protocols and operating system security
• Experience in managing and developing teams
• Experience applying threat modeling or other risk identification techniques or equivalent

Preferred Qualifications

• Information security professional certification (SANS GIAC, CISSP etc.)
• Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field
• Knowledge of information security technologies such as security design review, threat modeling, risk analysis, and software testing techniques
• Experience managing remote team members
