Sr. Data Scientist, Enterprise Security Products

About the Team

Amazon Enterprise Security Products is a newly launched group building intelligent, cloud-agnostic security tools using AI-first development practices. We are a small team of builders who tackle challenges others might consider too ambitious. Here, there are no layers between you and the decision, and no waiting quarters to see your work reach customers. Every team member brings an owner's mentality: if there is a problem worth solving, we solve it. We move fast, ship fast, and learn from what we ship.

At Amazon Security, security is central to maintaining customer trust and delivering delightful customer experiences. Our organization is responsible for creating and maintaining a high bar for security across all of Amazon's products and services. We offer talented security professionals the chance to accelerate their careers with opportunities to build experience in a wide variety of areas including cloud, devices, retail, entertainment, healthcare, operations, and physical stores.

About the Role

This role is a chance to shape the future of security tooling with a small, fast team that ships like a startup but deploys at Amazon scale. You will design and deploy models that detect threats, power intelligent agents, and make security decisions at cloud scale. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with SDEs, applied scientists, security researchers, and PMs on a team where the best idea wins, regardless of title or tenure.

You will build the intelligence behind AI-first security products, owning the full science lifecycle from problem framing and data exploration through model development, production deployment, and monitoring. You will use agentic coding tools, LLM-powered workflows, and experimental AI tooling to accelerate every phase of your work, multiplying your velocity and raising the bar for what one scientist can deliver. You will prototype rapidly, turning hypotheses into prototypes in days rather than quarters, and iterate based on real customer signal.

A Day in the Life

No two days look the same on this fast-growing, AI-first team. You might start your morning reviewing evaluation results from overnight model training runs, then dive into building a RAG pipeline or tuning a multi-agent orchestration loop. Before lunch, you're pair-prompting with an agentic coding assistant to stand up a new feature pipeline. In the afternoon, you join a design session with senior and principal scientists and engineers where your ideas carry weight regardless of title. You own science problems end to end, ship using the latest AI-assisted workflows, and see your models reach production fast. This is where builders thrive.
