Description Application deadline: Jun 25, 2026 This position is part of the AWS Specialist and Partner Organization (ASP). Specialists own the end-to-end go-to-market strategy for their respective technology domains, providing the business and technical expertise to help our customers succeed. Partner teams own the strategy, recruiting, development, and growth of our key technology and consulting partners. Together they provide our customers with the expertise and scale needed to build innovative solutions for their most complex challenges. AWS Marketplace within ASP is a curated digital catalog where customers find, buy, deploy, and manage third-party software, data, and services to build solutions and run their businesses. Every listing represents a trust relationship between AWS, an independent software vendor, and the customer - and security is what makes that trust possible. We're looking for a Senior Security Engineer to own security for the third-party (3P) catalog. You'll set the bar for how 3P software is vetted, monitored, and protected across its lifecycle on Marketplace, and dive deep into emerging threat vectors to protect our customers. You'll also partner closely with our Application Security and Engineering teams to ensure the features we build on AWS Marketplace meet AWS's high security bar and continue to protect our customers. This role has high visibility, broad scope, and direct impact on millions of AWS customers. Key job responsibilities - Own the security strategy for the AWS Marketplace 3P catalog, including ingestion, scanning, vulnerability management, and ongoing posture monitoring of seller-provided artifacts (AMIs, containers, SaaS, data products, ML models). - Identify systemic risks across the catalog and lead remediation campaigns that span multiple teams and orgs. - Investigate and respond to security findings, vulnerabilities, and incidents involving Marketplace services and 3P content. - Partner with AppSec to drive threat modeling, secure design reviews, and code reviews for Marketplace services. - Define and raise security standards for sellers and Marketplace internal teams. Influence policy, tooling, and automation so the security bar rises without slowing the business down. - Mentor engineers across the org on secure development practices, cloud security, and threat modeling. - Represent Marketplace security in cross-AWS forums, working with AWS Security, service teams, and partner orgs.

About the Company

Amazon

At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. 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.

Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. 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.
