DESCRIPTION
Do you have a passion for security and vulnerability management? Does digging deep into data to discover how to disrupt existing processes, define key performance indicators (KPIs), and influence business priorities excite you? Do you like having the influence to steer an entire business program to meet strategic companywide goals? Would you like to have high visibility for your efforts across multiple organizations through the programs you own? If yes, we need you to join our Vulnerability Management Initiatives, Products, and Services (VIPS) organization.
VIPS is looking for an experienced Sr. TPM to own the entire vulnerability management visibility program for Amazon SDO. A Sr. TPM in this role will work broadly across AWS and SDO vulnerability management, patching, and scanning teams to deliver Amazon’s required outcomes for scanning and visibility.

Further, this Sr. TPM will get the opportunity to go deep into a variety of vulnerability management use cases that span a heterogenous environment of various compute and container workloads.
VIPS is a multi-discipline team that utilizes a broad range of skills to ensure visibility (scanning and detection) of all SDO assets by vulnerability management tools daily. Also, VIPS serves all of SDO requiring the creation of solutions that scale by business use cases, as well as compute footprint. For example VIPS can process up to a trillion signals a day, while dealing with the nuances from supporting fulfillment centers, autonomous cars, and satellites. As a Sr. TPM in VIPS, you will work with security engineers, software engineers, applied scientists, and businesses intelligence engineers across junior, senior, and principal levels. Your scope will include owning and executing a scanning and visibility program that span three immediate software and security teams, and advising the head of SDO’s Host & Container VM program (5 teams). You will interact with VP level audiences monthly to review program progress, derive action items, and influence the future direction of the visibility program. Finally, you will define the program strategy for scanning and detecting vulnerabilities across Amazon’s SDO asset footprint.
