Overview
Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband network connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. The Kuiper Security team owns the security of product and operations of Project Kuiper end-to-end. We provide the necessary infrastructure and mechanisms to ensure the security of our satellite constellation and to protect the integrity and confidentiality of our customer data. Our team drives the research & development, deployment and operation of several mission-critical security systems and mechanisms. You will work in a start-up like environment, backed by Amazon’s infrastructure to bootstrap security mechanisms, and help instill the security culture in the organization. Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Key job responsibilities
You will be responsible for establishing product-specific security bar, threat models, and security priorities to help builders ensure consistent security execution across the business. You’ll identify design & implementation defects and support product development processes by providing consultation on difficult security decisions. You will collaborate with business leaders to define security priorities and act as a trusted advisor. You will provide direction that makes security easy and help leaders measure their org's security execution, guiding teams toward outcomes that safely handle customer data. You will collaborate with builder teams to assess technical debt and risk, providing strategic direction that addresses vulnerabilities and fortifies our products. You will lead the reduction of long-term risk. You will guide teams toward secure-by-default solutions or invent and propose new ones. You will leverage automation teams to find discoverable vulnerabilities and advocate for the creation & deployment of new testing tools and detection mechanisms. You will enable builder teams to become proactive & self-sufficient on security. You will ensure use of appropriate security linting & static analysis tools and help reduce security operations costs over time. You will instill a security culture and mentor builders to become security advocates and engineers via 1-1 sessions & office hours. You will assist Red Teams in identifying security testing priorities, scope penetration tests, and investigate emerging security issues to root cause and devise preventive mechanisms. You will propose a security vision for the business that delivers protection for our customers. You will engage with bleeding edge technologies and contribute to advancing security capabilities. A day in the life
You will balance proactive and reactive work, addressing security questions from builder teams (e.g., authentication token handling in service-to-service communications, security requirements for confidential product launches, incident analysis and root-cause investigations). You will also evaluate org performance to identify architectural defects and propose new security initiatives to improve security across the organization. About the team
