Senior Security Engineer

AI can "Do Anything Now", and with great responsibility comes the opportunity to influence across organizations and drive secure solutions within Alexa and other AI products. As a Senior Security Engineer, you will work with developers, scientists, and product leaders to deliver magical experiences to customers, while maintaining customer trust.

Key responsibilities include identifying key areas of impact, driving security improvements across a large organization, evaluating and prioritizing risk effectively, and communicating your work to product leaders at all levels. You will invent and improve security controls for internal and external products, leveraging traditional security approaches and utilizing newer AI approaches when appropriate.

You are self-driven, identifying both problems and solutions independently. You mentor junior engineers to deliver security outcomes, devising training, runbooks, policy, and other artifacts. You review security artifacts and help guide improvements. You are skilled at identification of vulnerabilities through code review or pentesting and may create proof-of-concepts for vulnerabilities or new defenses.

A day in the life involves being a traditional security team with some additional AI specific activities. The product teams are your primary stakeholders. You often consult on projects, identify potential risks and mitigations, and if an appropriate solution doesn't exist, you propose a new one. You drive long-term security outcomes, learn details of AI systems, and design solutions that mitigate pitfalls. You advocate for the end-customer, so we can launch quality products built with security from the ground up. You incorporate AI tools into your workflows to increase efficiency without sacrificing quality.
