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.
About the Role
Amazon's Specialized Businesses Security team is seeking a Security Engineer Manager to lead the Specialized Detections team. This forward‑driving leadership role focuses on defining what the team builds and owning two detection workstreams that address gaps no other team at Amazon covers.
In this role, you will spend time with SBS Business Security Teams understanding risks, working backwards to build next‑quarter capabilities, and ensuring findings are actionable and precise before they are shared with builders. When a new attack technique emerges, your team will determine exposure and build the capability to find it at scale, leveraging AI to compress the distance from idea to working detection.
