Security Engineer, Amazon Photos
Amazon.com Services LLC, Seattle, Washington
About the job
In the world of cloud security, there's no such thing as a small vulnerability. Billions of photo uploads, AI processing requests, cross-device shares. Each one has to be perfect. Each one has to be secure. Behind every transaction is a family's memories, and those are worth protecting.
Amazon Photos is hiring a Security Engineer who understands that kind of responsibility. Not just someone who can code, but someone who sees the bigger picture: the architecture, the attack vectors, the human element. Because at the end of the day, we're not just securing data - we're securing trust.
The role demands technical mastery across multiple domains
- Mobile security: iOS and Android apps that millions of customers depend on daily
- Smart device integration: Fire TV and Echo platforms where families share their memories
- Backend systems: Where AI helps customers rediscover moments they thought were lost
- Automation frameworks: Because at our scale, manual isn't an option
You'll work directly with senior leadership, but this isn't about following orders. It's about taking initiative, seeing the vulnerabilities before they become problems, building the solutions before they become urgent. You'll have the authority to make decisions and the autonomy to execute them.
