My team in Amazon is hiring for multiple Product Security/AppSec engineers in the payments space. We are building new secure platforms and require engineers with a strong background in security architecture, application security, cryptography, etc. The roles have cross-org impact and high visibility all the way up to the director well. I am an engineer on the team myself and contrary to popular perception of Amazon on Blind, I can assure you that the team and the leadership are great and the work thoroughly engaging. Also, Amazon pays Security Engineers 20-30% higher than SDEs. Comp should be comparable to other FANG if that motivates you. :) The senior level role can potentially be remote. Per the HM, that will be on a case by case basis. Please DM me if you are interested. #cybersecurity #security #amazon #facebook #google #microsoft #netflix #uber #lyft #salesforce #dropbox #stripe #twitter #square
What team is this for exactly?
Payments Security is what we are called as org. We have multiple teams including an appsec team, a product security team (appsec for a specific new platform we are building), IR, red teaming, etc. I am part of the product security team.
Location?
Seattle area.
How many years of experience required?
I would say at least 3 for the mid level role and 6-7 for the senior role.
So no luck for a new grad?
Im interviewing for the same role but in ireland, hows the team there? Also interviewing for Facebook London. The role is similar i.e Product Security Team. Fingers crossed! Will probably DM you, if i end up getting an offer(s).
Are you still looking for engineers?
Yes. We are still hiring!
Hi I am interested.
Woah g to amazon? What’s wrong CSCs12
Very low quality team with biased interview process! Don’t waste your time!
I assume from your response that you didn’t get through the loop. If you cannot get through the interview for a “low quality team”, that says more about you.
OMG! I’m sure I know you! You are one of those trash interviewers who are such a low quality! Lol! I aced all interviews! Even one interviewer didn’t know one basic answer, so he was trying to say I’m wrong (are you that guy??!)! None of the interviews could even defeat me at any single question! For your information, I never had any intention to join this low profile team and Amazon too — I already have number of offers from way better companies than Amazon! I gave it just for practice, but not getting the offer was an insult to me 😀 Did you guys hire at the end a person from your race or country? Not to mention that you indirectly admitted about your low quality team! LOL!
@kgtechman2 what to expect for scripting round, is it leet code or some bash script/commands?
My team doesn’t do full fledged coding interviews. We do have a code review round.
I’m interested to join, having 3 yrs exp as app sec
Can you give some insight on the interview process for the team? I am interested.
You may get to skip the phone screen. It should be about 5 rounds of interviews conducted virtually. Interviews should cover competencies like Threat Modeling, cryptography, secure code review, secure design, web app security, etc. I can connect you with my manager for an informal informational discussion. DM me or reply here if you are interested in proceeding.
