About The Position

Amazon Foundational Security Services is looking for a leader to join our team
working on our Access Management software systems. We provide authorization
control plane and data plane software to teams across Amazon. We are in the
process of transforming how Amazon does access management, and we need a leader
who has experience running large-scale systems, inventing and simplifying
solutions to complex problems, and operating with a sense of urgency to rapidly
solve challenges for our customers. In addition to transforming our
authorization services to leverage attribute based access control (ABAC), we are
also on the leading edge of solving access control challenges associated with AI
agents and platforms.

This is a Sr Manager role in the Amazon Foundational Security Services (AFSS)
organization. AFSS provides security software for internal use cases across
Amazon including authentication, authorization, identity management, access
management, and infrastructure security services. Our team works with businesses
across Amazon, including AWS, Retail, Alexa, Artificial General Intelligence
(AGI), Leo Satellite program, Whole Foods, and our Games, Media, and
Entertainment divisions.

You will love this role if you bring a delightfully dissatisfied approach to the
status quo. You love challenging the way it’s always been done, and finding
creative ways to move faster. You love to experiment, iterate rapidly, and
create high performing teams that can ship quickly (and safely) to production.
You focus on automation, and adopting AI assistants, to build speed into your
software lifecycle without compromising quality. You will enjoy working with
diverse businesses across the enterprise, and identifying extensible solutions
that unblock these businesses by providing building-block security capabilities.
While you will work in a security domain, you don’t need to be a security expert
on day 1. We need a leader with deep experience at rapid software prototyping
and development, who can learn about the security business as you iterate.
