    Job Description

    Amazon Security"s Vulnerability Management Service (AVMS) manages the entire vulnerability management (VM) program across Amazon's retail business special teams, and AWS. AVMS operates at an unprecedented asset scale, as well as diversity of business lines ranging from Cloud, Health Care, Payments, Devices, Fulfillment, and even drones!

    AVMS's mission is to be Earth's best VM team, keeping customers safe and enabling software teams to build cool new innovations securely. We are looking for a Senior Manager of Security Engineering to take on this mission and our scale to make a profound impact across Amazon and its external customers.

    We"re hiring a Principal Product Manager to own the end-to-end product strategy from vulnerability ingestion and agentic evaluation, through asset scanning and detection, to automated mitigation and remediation. This is not incremental product work. You will define how Amazon transitions from human-speed, ticket-driven vulnerability response to machine-speed, automation-first security posture management.

    Key job responsibilities

    As a Principal Product Manager, you own the product from vision, strategy, roadmap, and outcomes. You will:

    Define and drive the multi-year product strategy for AVMS, ensuring coherence across intake, scanning, detection, and remediation workstreams that today span multiple converging teams

    Own the product vision for agentic vulnerability management, translating the shift from human-speed to machine-speed VM into concrete product requirements, milestones, and success metrics

    Drive stakeholder alignment across Amazon Security, AWS, Stores, and subsidiary business lines, each with differentiated asset types, risk tolerances, and operational constraints

    Define the product framework for vulnerability prioritization in an era where AI-generated findings demand a fundamentally new risk model beyond CVSS and EPSS alone

    Own the builder experience end-to-end, ensuring that automated mitigation and remediation solutions reduce builder toil rather than create new friction, and that the path to adoption is clear and low-effort

    Partner with engineering leadership to make tradeoffs between operational load and investment in the agentic platform

    Define success metrics

    Engage directly with CISO stakeholders, remediation operations teams, and software builders to understand their needs and translate them into product direction

    A day in the life

    What You"ll Work On

    Three forces define this problem space: AI is accelerating both attackers and defenders. Exploit chains are now quicker than ever, vulnerability volume is growing with no signs of slowing. The diversity of Amazon"s asset footprint demands solutions that work across fundamentally different compute models. You will own the product vision that ties all of this together.

    The scope spans:

    Intake & Orchestration - An agentic vulnerability evaluation framework that ingests signals beyond CVEs (threat intelligence, code commits, public PoCs, AI-generated findings) and processes them at machine speed

    Asset Scanning Platform - 100% visibility across all Amazon assets including hosts, containers, client devices, and operational technology, modernized for context-aware, chain-aware detection

    Detection Development - Scalable, automatically generated detections that account for multi-vulnerability exploit chains, not just single-issue pattern matching

    Mitigation & Remediation - Automated patching triggered by update availability (not ticket creation), curated image vending, builder-facing agents that drive remediation without human intervention, and integration with partner mechanisms across Amazon Security

    Stakeholder & Partner Integration - Product interfaces with software builder teams and security management systems

    About the team

    AVMS is an international organization. We are the convergence of Amazon"s vulnerability management organizations of security engineers, software engineers, data engineers, and product managers chartered together to solve machine-speed vulnerability management at Amazon scale.

    About Company

So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
