* Partner with AWS developers to drive improvement in application security as a result of security
* Provide actionable long term risk mitigation guidance
Requirements:
* Experience with AWS technologies and services (e.g. S3, Lambda, EC2, KMS, IAM, etc.)
* Minimum of 1 years of professional experience with penetration testing, source code auditing, bug hunting, or CTF
