Applied Scientists on the AWS Vulnerability Management (AVM) Builder Enablement team use program analysis, machine learning and generative AI for managing vulnerabilities and securing the software supply chain across AWS. Our scope covers the third-party open-source packages, language ecosystems, operating systems and kernels that AWS services are built on. Our goal is to take builders out of the remediation loop. When a vulnerability is disclosed or a package is compromised, our systems work out whether it actually affects AWS, generate the fix, check that it's safe and ship it at AWS scale, with one click or no clicks at all. New vulnerabilities are disclosed every day in the software AWS depends on, and finding and fixing them by hand doesn't scale. We build systems that detect vulnerabilities and work out whether the vulnerable code can actually be reached and exploited in a given service. They rank issues by real risk rather than raw severity scores, then fix them automatically. That can mean upgrading dependencies across ecosystems like Java, Python, JavaScript, Go and Rust, fixing breaking API changes, backporting patches, or patching operating systems and kernels across the fleet. Just as important, we check that each fix is correct and safe, so it can merge with little or no human review. Beyond known vulnerabilities, we protect the integrity of the software supply chain itself. Modern software is assembled more than it is written, and every dependency is a potential way in for attackers. Securing it means knowing what's in our software, where it came from and whether it can be trusted. Our work here includes building and analyzing software bills of materials (SBOMs), verifying package provenance and build integrity, and detecting malicious or compromised packages before they reach production. Our methods range from static and dynamic program analysis to LLM-based agents for code repair and upgrades. This is a chance to shape a fast-growing area that directly affects the security of AWS and its customers. You'll apply your technical depth in a fast-moving environment, and your work will reach thousands of AWS builders and services. Key job responsibilities • Design and build scientific approaches to vulnerability management. This includes vulnerability detection, reachability and exploitability analysis, dependency resolution, and prioritizing risk across third-party packages, operating systems and kernels. • Build program analysis techniques (static analysis, dataflow and call-graph analysis, binary and source analysis) that tell us precisely whether a vulnerability affects a given service or host. • Apply generative AI and agentic coding methods to fix vulnerabilities automatically. Examples include upgrading dependencies, fixing breaking API changes, backporting patches and migrating code across language versions. • Develop ways to check that automated fixes are correct and safe, such as test generation, behavior-equivalence checking, build and runtime checks, and confidence scoring, so changes can merge with little or no human review. • Own the design, experiments and delivery of well-defined science problems from start to finish. Turn ambiguous problems into measurable experiments and deliver solutions with measurable impact, such as faster time to fix, higher fix success rates and fewer false positives. • Work with engineers to turn research prototypes into production systems that run reliably across AWS's codebases and fleet. • Work with security, OS and kernel, and builder-tools partner teams to understand their remediation challenges and data. Find opportunities where science can make a difference. • Stay current with research in software security, program analysis, and ML for code. Contribute to internal and external publications where appropriate. • Share your knowledge through design reviews, documentation and mentoring of junior scientists and engineers. About the team The AWS Vulnerability Management (AVM) Builder Enablement team protects AWS from security risks in the software it depends on. Our mission is to take builders out of the remediation loop. We find the issues that matter, fix them automatically and ship the fixes safely at AWS scale. Scientists and engineers on the team work side by side, turning research in program analysis and generative AI into production systems that reach thousands of AWS builders.
