- Minimum of 1 years of experience with manually auditing source code (One or more of: Java, Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Rust, C, others) to find security issues.

**This role is open to alternative locations including: Seattle, WA - Herndon, VA – Arlington, VA – Atlanta, GA - Austin, TX**
Are you interested in security and supporting the tools and processes for a penetration testing team? Do you strive to understand systems, software, and services deeply in order to break them? Do you find yourself automating away your work every single day? As a Security Engineer you will solve complex technology problems and build tools to automate your way out of manual efforts.
Our team is responsible for the manual assessment of all products, services and software released by AWS. To accomplish this, we support and write a variety of automated tooling (e.g. fuzzers, scanners, analyzers, etc.) to verify security fixes related to penetration testing. 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 AWS 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.
We are looking for a Security Engineer to help ensure our services, applications, and websites are designed and implemented to the highest security standards. You will be responsible for automating repetitive tasks using various scripting languages. As a security engineer, you will also work with our penetration testing team to learn their work, reproduce, and recommend solutions. We would look to you to help write automation to improve processes and work directly with internal teams to solve challenging software problems.
