Yes, I know that Amazon/AWS are not popular here. Yes, it is annoying that we have a 5-day RTO expectation. Yes it is annoying that we are only hiring in a handful of cities (NYC, Seattle, DC).

Having said all that, if you'd like to come work with me and my colleagues securing customers who use #AWS, this job is on my team (I'm not a people manager, so I'm not the hiring manager). It's kinda cool #security stuff at global scale. It's at the intersection of building/deploying systems in the cloud, but with policy/governance and security telemetry in mind. If anyone wants me to refer them in I can.

A good candidate will have 2-5 years experience in security, demonstrated ability to write some python, JavaScript, or other modern language to get stuff done. It's not an SDE role, so there won't be a live-coding exercise, but you need to have a track record of at least sysadmin-level scripting/coding. Willing to learn isn't good enough. Experience in AWS is always good. AWS certifications (especially the security certification) are very desirable. This is not risk management/GRC. It's security.

My particular team is really good at DEI. Yes, I'm an old white man, but I'm very much in the minority on both my immediate team (10% white men) and the wider VP-level team. My immediate team is about 50/50 men/women, 2/3 people of colour, with one openly gay person at a very senior level. We're very serious about supporting people and treating people with respect. There are pockets of goodness, even in the belly of the beast.
