Evidence Collection Jobs in Virginia (NOW HIRING)

This role sits at the intersection of compliance, security engineering, and AI-driven automation. You will serve as a subject matter expert for compliance programs supporting Amazon Foundational Security Services (AFSS), working closely with engineering teams and external auditors to ensure our services meet the highest bar for security assurance.
A significant and growing part of this role involves identifying and implementing AI-powered solutions to automate compliance workflows. You will be expected to get hands-on with AI tooling-building agents, leveraging large language models, and eliminating manual processes

This is not a "future-state" aspiration; it is a core expectation of the role from day one.
This role requires familiarity with compliance in government cloud environments, including air-gapped (isolated) cloud regions. You will support FedRAMP authorization efforts and understand the unique compliance challenges of operating security services in environments with no connectivity to commercial regions.
A key priority for this role is leading the automation of compliance testing and documentation in partnership with Security Assurance. You will drive the modernization of how compliance artifacts are created, maintained, and managed-moving away from manual processes toward automated, scalable solutions that serve as the source of compliance truth across AFSS.
You will dive deep into security technologies such as access control design patterns, identity security services, authorization, authentication, and lifecycle management to support our customers as Amazon continues to scale and grow.
