Description

At Amazon, we are obsessed with customer trust. Amazon Security enables Amazon's business leaders to build and operate securely while protecting the confidentiality and integrity of Amazon and customer data. We assess risk, classify data and systems, detect intrusion, and drive mitigation at scale.

Veritas is Amazon's single source of truth for applications and services and the resources that make them up, spanning both Stores/Devices (SDO) and AWS.

Take the lead on large projects that require both business and technical domain expertise, delivering significant benefit to the business.

Influence multiple teams and build consensus across business, science, and engineering stakeholders; advise senior managers and directors on data-driven security decisions.

Mentor and develop other scientists; perform data science technical assessments and participate in science and data-engineering code reviews.

Create, enhance, and maintain technical documentation, and present findings to other scientists and business leaders, keeping teams current on relevant scientific advancements.
