Job Description

Amazon Payments processes millions of transactions every day across numerous countries and payment methods. Over 100 million customers and merchants send tens of billions of dollars through our systems annually. We are re-inventing the vision of our platform to provide our internal clients such as Digital, Retail, AWS, B2B and others, the best payment gateway service, benchmarked against the top external alternatives. As a Security Engineer, you will solve some of the most challenging and interesting problems to effectively mitigate large-scale threats. You'll secure the design and implementation of several internal and external payments services. If you enjoy analyzing the security of secure channels, services, mobile and web applications, but also creating and implementing secure designs and protocols, working within development teams to innovate, finding solutions to security problems at scale, this position will provide you with a challenging opportunity. Paramount to our success is ensuring that customer data is secure.

A Security Engineer in Amazon, expected to be strong in multiple domains will be sought out for advice on technical issues.

A Security Engineer will proactively share knowledge across the Amazon service owners and will be a key company resource in one or more of the core areas of security.

Engineers in this role must show exemplary judgment in making technical trade-offs between short versus long term security and business goals. They must also demonstrate resilience and navigate difficult situations with composure and tact. The successful candidate must be one that can handle several difficult challenges and problems, can make risk-based assessments founded on data and facts rather than older static based security paradigms, though being aware of the older best practices.

Additionally, the successful candidate will be:

* Methodically empirical and experimental in approach and evaluation without being bound by over paralysis-by-analysis
* Be an enthusiastic learner and curiosity seeker, focusing on what can be done rather than hindered by notions of what cannot be
* Work ceaselessly to improve knowledge of the security field, threat landscape, security intelligence, moving proactively toward prevention and detection of threats
* Possess effective verbal and written communication skills, be passionate about sharing knowledge, tactics, strategy, as well as advocating for the project mission
* Great logic and problem-solving skills.
