You will collaborate with engineers, managers, and product stakeholders to define the technical and product direction for your space, and influence the larger direction of Security practices and software development at Amazon. You will lead and provide feedback in design reviews, assist managers in setting the road-map, and contribute to yearly planning and product design, both within the Kumo Auth space and across internal teams.
