You will build proofs of concept and develop tooling/automation solutions that help T&S and AWS scale with the evolving threat landscape.

8. Proactively identify risks and bring them to the attention of your manager, customers, and stakeholders with plans for mitigation before they become larger events.
9. You will be Amazon's voice in technical security engagements with customers addressing abuse.
10. Collect, analyze, and document information to author threat reports to drive scalable mitigation and remediation actions.
11. Provide situational awareness on the current threat landscape and the TTPs associated with specific threats to our business, including ongoing malware campaigns.
12. Collect data from intelligence communities, threat intelligence platforms, open source data repositories, and other sources to analyze TTPs and anomalies.
13. Drive operational excellence and efficiency in everything you do, whether by researching new, or scaling up existing capabilities, creating effective mechanisms, and automating day-to-day tasks.
14. Participate in scheduled 24/7 on-call duties.
