Security Engineer I, AWS Security Incident Response
We are seeking a Security Engineer I, AWS Security Incident Response to help protect cloud environments, investigate security events, and strengthen incident response capabilities. In this role, you will work with security operations, engineering, and infrastructure teams to identify, contain, and remediate threats affecting AWS accounts, services, and workloads. You will contribute to the development of repeatable processes that improve detection, response times, and overall cloud security resilience.
Key responsibilities include monitoring and triaging security alerts, investigating suspicious activity across AWS services, and supporting incident response from initial analysis through containment, recovery, and post-incident review. You will assist with log analysis, evidence collection, root-cause investigations, and the documentation of findings and recommended actions. The role will also involve creating and tuning detection rules, developing scripts or automation to streamline response activities, and helping maintain playbooks for common attack scenarios. You may participate in vulnerability investigations, security reviews, threat-hunting exercises, and efforts to improve identity, access, network, and data protection controls.
We are looking for candidates with foundational experience in cybersecurity, incident response, cloud security, or a related technical discipline. Familiarity with AWS services such as CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Hub, IAM, VPC, S3, and EC2 is strongly preferred, along with an understanding of common attack techniques, security monitoring, and digital forensics principles. Experience with SIEM platforms, scripting or programming languages such as Python, and infrastructure or security automation is advantageous. Strong analytical, written, and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to manage priorities calmly during active incidents. A curious mindset, attention to detail, willingness to learn, and commitment to secure engineering practices will be highly valued.
