This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen.In the Cyber Threat Exploitation Engineer role you will formulate new analytic techniques and work across teams to drive the supporting capabilities. A deep understanding of advanced actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) is required, as well as how those TTP’s will present themselves in network-based and host-based logs derived from software, operating systems, networks, cloud infrastructure, networking equipment, and web applications. In addition, you will script and help automate recurring tasks to improve the overall effectiveness of the intelligence and how it is utilized throughout Amazon and AWS. Beyond direct technical work on exploits, vulnerability research, and threat intelligence, the Cyber Threat Exploitation Engineer will steer strategic direction in the secure design of AWS services, drive tactical results from red and blue team engagements, coordinate takedowns of malicious infrastructure, and drive effective technical countermeasures.
Key job responsibilities
