* Partner with security, networking, and device teams to deliver defense-in-depth solutions that protect customer data across diverse network environments
* Use AI coding assistants and GenAI tools effectively across the software development lifecycle from design through testing and operations, applying engineering judgment to validate output against Amazon's security and correctness bar
