Software Development Manager, Monitored Access

What do you know about protecting sensitive data? What about fine-grained access control (FGAC) on Big Data? Or attribute-based access control (ABAC) and context based authorization? What about catching bad actors that are abusing Amazon services? Or attacks that could potentially lead to a widespread data breach? Do you know how to generate activity-based intelligence (ABI) through anomaly detection?

In Security Products we build Access Policy Management systems to enable all Amazon teams to apply FGAC to their sensitive data. We build products that apply context based authorization to solve the problem of over-permissioning.

We apply Machine Learning Techniques in our Monitored Access (MA) abuse detection program to preemptively detect and mitigate internal and external malicious actors. We do this to protect Amazon customer, seller, vendor and employee information across from constantly changing abuse actor behaviors and patterns.

In our newly created organization we have a rare opportunity to engage with multiple Amazon organizations and groups of experienced tech leaders to build products with impact at an impressive scale (hundreds of thousands of services).

We are looking for a Software Development Manager (SDM) to lead the team and the technical vision for innovative solutions managing and securing access to Amazon's resources. As a leader of the team, you will own the strategic roadmap, the architecture and vision for the products and you will provide hands on technical leadership to the team. You will have the opportunity to learn about various Amazon businesses and technologies.

Successful candidates for this position must have experience in growing and coaching a highly qualified team of software engineers. They must possess strong verbal and written communication skills, be self-driven and deliver high quality results in a fast-paced environment.
