Internship Code Review Jobs in Massachusetts (NOW HIRING)

Are you excited about advancing the state of threat detection, correlation and response at scale to mitigate risk from an ever-evolving threat landscape for a diverse range of customers?
The AWS Security Hub team is looking for a highly motivated Security Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will research emerging threats to develop new criticality and posture management ideas and build high-confidence markers and rules that correlate criticality across a diverse set of conditions from large-scale data sources. You will work closely with engineering and product teams to shape the analysis, context and inference that drive visibility into the most critical threats and vulnerabilities for AWS customers operating on AWS and other cloud providers. You will also develop innovative methods utilizing the latest techniques to analyze detections at scale. Your expertise will help defend the data of Amazon's millions of customers against the most critical threats.
Key job responsibilities
Basic qualifications
- Experience evaluating threats and vulnerabilities, assigning criticality based on impact, and developing response automation
- Experience scripting with Python, Perl, Bash or PowerShell
- Experience with software development for the cloud using java and AWS Developer Tools
- Knowledge of web protocols, common attacks, and Linux/Unix tools and architecture
- Knowledge of cloud computing concepts and design considerations for AWS, Azure and GCP

A day in the life
Most days you'll be heads-down building and tuning evaluations, digging into resource analysis and log data to figure out what data markers looks like and how to reliably assess impact. You'll spend time reading up on the latest threats and turning that research into something actionable. You'll also work on advancing how we assess threats, whether that's prototyping new approaches using machine learning or generative AI, improving enrichment pipelines, or finding ways to scale what we do. It's a mix of deep technical work and close collaboration with security teams across the organization.
