Penetration Testing Manager Amazon
Seattle, WA

Job Description

Amazon's Offensive Security Team is looking for a manager for its Penetration Testing team to lead a talented team of engineers tasked with raising the security bar of Amazon through vulnerability discovery, disclosure and mitigation.

This role presents the ultimate test of one's security knowledge, the challenge of building and running a team with high visibility throughout Amazon, and the opportunity to mentor and grow highly talented security engineers.

As the leader of the Penetration Testing team, you'll be responsible for ensuring that applications and services developed at and acquired by Amazon are examined for security vulnerabilities, interact with teams throughout Amazon to discuss and disclose findings, and drive mitigation efforts with owners through Information Security and Amazon at large. You'll be part of an organization focused on positively influencing security culture within Amazon, with the ultimate goal of ensuring the continued safety and security of our customers.

The Penetration Testing team has a broadly defined scope, with a primary focus on testing applications and services handling our most important data, but also with the freedom to pursue areas where penetration testing can have a direct affect on Amazon's security. This team is exposed to development efforts taking places throughout Amazon's retail systems. By leading this team you'll be exposed to how Amazon is built and operated, and most importantly, be responsible for continually raising Amazon's security bar.

Key responsibilities:

* Leadership and advocacy for a highly motivated penetration testing team.
* Creating an environment to grow and challenge your team.
* Setting goals and establishing priorities over near-to-medium term.
* Building processes that speed up the discovery and resolution of findings.
