Key job responsibilities
You'll be responsible for designing, implementing, and optimizing data pipelines that ingest, process, and analyze vast amounts of security-related data from multiple sources. Your expertise will be essential in developing scalable solutions that enable real-time threat detection, anomaly identification, and predictive risk modeling.In this role, you'll collaborate closely with security engineers, data scientists, and software engineers to translate complex security requirements into robust data architectures. You'll leverage cutting-edge technologies and AWS services to build systems that embody our "Fortify the Exit, Secure the Entry" security approach.A day in the life
* Collaborate with data scientists and security engineers to architect data pipelines that support novel threat detection algorithms
* Design and maintain scalable ETL processes to ingest and transform massive volumes of log and event data
* Implement data quality checks and cleansing workflows to ensure the integrity of our detection systems
* Optimize queries and data models to enable rapid threat hunting and anomaly detection
* Present data infrastructure designs to cross-functional partners and incorporate their feedback
* Troubleshoot data flow issues and provide technical support to detection engineers
In the coming years, we're focused on enhancing our real-time threat detection capabilities, implementing machine learning-driven anomaly detection, and expanding our data sources to provide more comprehensive security coverage. As a Data Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of these initiatives, helping to shape the future of data-driven security at Amazon.
