You will continuously use and innovate AWS’s technology that defends at multiple points in the network and operates at multiple layers of the network stack to provide in depth defense capabilities and ensure that attacks are mitigated as quickly and efficiently as possible.
You will draw on customer feedback as well as usage and operational data to quickly iterate and evolve the services. You’ll help set, and will be expected to deliver on, aggressive goals for adoption, operational performance, and feature delivery.
