About the Role
Description
AWS Security Incident Response is looking for a Security Engineer who investigates with urgency, communicates with clarity, and turns every investigation into an opportunity to make the service smarter. You will perform hands-on security response for customers, work alongside AI-powered investigation agents daily, and feed what you learn back into the automation systems that protect all customers.
The AWS Security Incident Response team provides 24/7 security response through a follow-the-sun operating model. The service combines automated triage workflows, AI-powered investigation agents, and human security analysts to respond to threats across customer AWS environments at massive scale. Our AI systems autonomously resolve the majority of routine investigations within minutes.
