We are looking for a Penetration Testing Engineer who has a strong passion for security-at-scale.
Job Description
You will be on a team responsible for the delivery of continuous assessments. You will be asked to solve complex technology problems, build tools to automate your way out of manual efforts, and influence the way Amazon services respond to and mitigate threats.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the leading cloud service provider, providing virtualised infrastructure, storage, networking, messaging, and many other services to customers all over the world, including government customers. AWS runs a globally distributed environment, operating at massive levels of scale.
Businesses, from start-ups to enterprises to large government customers, run their operations and applications on AWS' highly secure infrastructure. Our team is responsible for the manual assessment of all products, services and software released by AWS. We specialize in digging deep to find security issues that static analysis tools can't, and write the tooling to help with these goals whenever possible. The surface area is large and diverse, and we use results found in manual analysis to help improve our enterprise-wide automation to proactively spot and fix potential security issues to protect customers.
Key Responsibilities
* Perform penetration testing of complex proprietary software and hardware for AWS services
* Manually audit the source code of web services and software authored in-house by Amazon
* Write proof of concept code to demonstrate the severity of a potential security issue
* Provide clear communication on issues to developers that suggest and help to test the fix
* Partner with AWS developers to drive improvement in application security as a result of security
