Successful candidates for this position must possess strong verbal and written communication skills, be self-driven, and deliver high quality results. You will be able to develop plans and invent mechanisms that scale to meet the broad and diverse needs of teams across Amazon. You will have a strong customer obsession, working to deeply understand the needs of your customers and relentlessly looking to improve their experience and make them more productive. A day in the life The team is a strong, close-knit group with a focus on learning, growing, and delivering results together. We have regular architecture and knowledge shares, and our high level of team trust makes this the ideal environment to lead and grow to the next level. You will be interacting with your peers and senior engineers to design solutions for Permission Management, Security Detections, Preventions and Remediation problems. You will be meeting with customers directly, our senior security engineers, principal engineers, applied scientists and service owners who will give their security requirements and review your solutions to better index our efforts. You will be responsible for building automation software and launching it for Amazon to protect against cyber security crimes. About the team Your primary focus is building and shipping production software that automates security processes for Amazon Payments. On any given day, you might be writing code for a new automation pipeline, pairing with a Product Security engineer to understand a workflow you're automating, or deploying a service you've been iterating on for the past few sprints. Your internal stakeholders are Product Security engineers who perform security reviews and Payments service teams who interact with security processes as part of shipping their products. You'll talk to both regularly to understand what's slowing them down and where automation can make the biggest difference. Beyond day-to-day feature work, you'll contribute to design reviews, and prototype something entirely new when you spot an opportunity to close a gap that nobody else is covering. Our team believes in experimenting, learning, and trying new things even if it means taking risks. We support each other to build innovative solutions and lead the vision of our automation platforms. ## Related Videos - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
