Senior Product Manager - Technical, AWS WAF, AWS Web Application Firewall - Amazon : Job Details

Job ID: 2903770 | Amazon Data Services, Inc.

Web Application Firewall (WAF) makes it easy for customers to author firewall policies which inspect incoming HTTP requests to help protect their applications from attacks by allowing them to configure rules that allow, block, monitor (count), or CAPTCHA web requests based on conditions that they define. These conditions include IP addresses, HTTP headers, HTTP body, URI strings, SQL injection and cross-site scripting. By supporting association with CloudFront, Application Load Balancer, API Gateway, and AppSync customers can protect their applications and resources whether all in on the Cloud, maintaining on-premise data centers, or using a hybrid Cloud approach.

What challenges does the WAF Team tackle?

We build a highly available low latency distributed system that allows customers to propagate changes worldwide in minutes to respond to active attacks in real-time. We're fully integrated with several others AWS Services to give customers the insight and control they need.

What is special about the WAF Team?

We own the direct customer experience as well as the per request processing of rules for CloudFront, API Gateway, Application Load Balancer, and AppSync. Not only do we build an AWS Security service, but we're a customer of AWS using other AWS services to provide the solutions to our customers that scale and seamlessly integrate with their existing workflows. Leaders on our team get to solve some of the hardest computer science problems including building highly available distributed micro-services and global scaling across both AWS Regions and CloudFront edge locations.

Who we are looking for?

The WAF team is looking for a Senior Product Manager to help us build new services and improve our existing services for internal and external customers. You will work closely with other teams, our security experts and engineers to identify opportunities to launch new products and continually improve our defenses against the threat actors. For this role, your passion for network security, cloud computing and endpoint protection will need to complement a deep understanding of the business P&L.

We need strong technical candidates with proven analytical capabilities, strong persuasive writing skills, and the tenacity to develop ideas independently and thrive in a fast-paced start-up environment.

As an ideal candidate you demonstrate the ability to dive deep with a willingness to learn what you lack. You are able to review system designs and have a good sense of feasibility, operational stability, and time to deliver. You have exceptional customer relationship skills including the ability to discover the true requirements underlying feature requests, recommend alternative technical and business approaches, and lead engineering efforts to meet timelines with optimal solutions. Strong product leadership. You have a history of innovative product definition backed by good judgment. You have excellent communication skills and the ability to drive cross-team collaboration.

Why AWS?Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that's why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

If your career is just starting, hasn't followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don't let it stop you from applying.

Work/Life BalanceWe value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there's nothing we can't achieve in the cloud.
