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 worldwide. The Kuiper Security team owns the security of the 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, a U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
Key Job Responsibilities:
Define, develop, and implement Kuiper’s detection pipeline.
Advocate for the creation and deployment of new testing tools and detection mechanisms.
Leverage support from automation teams that discover vulnerabilities.
Identify design and implementation defects and build compensating detective controls.
Support product development processes by providing consultation services on difficult security decisions.
Collaborate with business leaders to define security priorities.
Act as a trusted advisor to product leaders, guiding them on security.
Measure the organization’s security execution and guide teams toward outcomes that produce products that safely handle customer data.

Investigate emerging security issues, root cause them, and devise mechanisms to detect them.
Hack bleeding‑edge technology.
A day in the life:
In this highly dynamic role you will be accountable for deciding where your time investments provide the most value. You will build preventive and detective controls, answer builder teams’ questions such as “What’s the paved path for vulnerability management?” or “We need to define security requirements for a confidential new product launch.” You will evaluate overall organization performance, identify architectural defects, propose new scanning capabilities, and correct problems to help Amazon maintain a high bar for customer security.
