You will directly improve security for large scale complex cloud solutions.You will work with data scientists and engineers to design, test, and implement detection and mitigation controls for Amazon. You’ll function as a data analyst, extracting knowledge from raw data, and answering functional questions about the ‘texture’ of the data as well. You will work with existing threat intelligence and incident response teams to identify and codify attacker and analysis methodology into automated analyses.You will have access to amazing amounts of security-relevant data sources, as well as virtually unlimited resources to process that data. While experience with AWS is nice, its more important to have a good handle on security detection and response controls, and ability to code.You will balance long-term strategic thinking and are committed to getting things done.If you like searching for needles in haystacks of needles, think sigmoid functions are neat, and can fend off hordes of rampaging datasets with your coding-fu, we’d love to hear from you.
