About the position

The Amazon Security Cloud Controls (AC2) team owns several problem-spaces. Our most challenging responsibility is to ensure the enforcement of hundreds of policies across millions of accounts and billions of infrastructure components and make sure that we surface any non-compliance with respect to these policies within minutes. We also own products and services that ensure secure creation of AWS resources, security of our containers in AWS and security of third-party software being used in Amazon.

You will also have the unique opportunity to own the strategy and architecture of one of very few services that span across Amazon retail, devices and AWS.
