During a regular day, engineers with our team work across multiple organizations and multiple technologies to ensure the AWS maintains the correct security posture. We partner with the compliance and application security teams to identify and work through any potentially impactful issues. We also define and maintain highly scalable solutions built on AWS Services to improve the visibility and tracking of security exposures worldwide. The AVM team has engineers in Seattle, Virginia, Austin, and New York. We have a mix of both new and tenured engineers that all bring a unique aspect with them to any challenge.
