    What happens when you combine startup speed with Amazon-scale impact? You get this team. Amazon Enterprise Security Products is a newly launched group building intelligent, cloud-agnostic security tools using AI-first development practices. Here, you build AI and you build with AI — at the same time. 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. We're looking for a Data Scientist who thrives at the intersection of applied ML, agentic AI, and security. You'll 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. Key job responsibilities * Build the intelligence behind AI-first security products: Design, train, and ship ML models that power agentic systems, anomaly detection, threat classification, and automated response — all running across multi-cloud environments. * Own the full science lifecycle: From problem framing and data exploration through model development, evaluation, production deployment, and monitoring. You build it, you ship it, you run it. * Build with AI to build AI: Use agentic coding tools, LLM-powered workflows, and experimental AI tooling to accelerate every phase of your work; from EDA to feature engineering to model iteration. Multiply your velocity and raise the bar for what one scientist can deliver. * Power agentic architectures: Develop the models, embeddings, RAG pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and feedback loops that make multi-agent security systems smart, safe, and customer-ready. * Prototype rapidly and validate with customers: Turn hypotheses into prototypes in days, not quarters. Iterate based on real customer signal and ship what works. * Partner across disciplines: Work directly with SDEs, applied scientists, security researchers, PMs, and UX designers to turn ambiguous problems into shipped solutions. Small team means short lines between you and the decision. * Communicate with impact: Translate complex modeling results into clear recommendations for engineers, product leaders, and senior executives. Influence direction with data. * Raise the science bar: Contribute to technical and science reviews, mentor teammates, and champion AI-first development practices. Help shape the science culture of a fast-growing team from the ground floor. 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. About the team Amazon Enterprise Security Products is built by builders who tackle challenges others might consider too ambitious. We're a small team where there are no layers between you and the decision, no waiting quarters to see your work reach customers. Every team member brings an owner's mentality. If there's a problem worth solving, we solve it. No mission is beyond reach, no detail beneath our attention. We move fast, we ship fast, and we learn from what we ship. This is where builders who want to make the impossible routine come to do their best work. Diverse Experiences Amazon Security values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying. Why Amazon Security? At Amazon, 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. Inclusive Team Culture In Amazon Security, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Ongoing DEI events and learning experiences inspire us to continue learning and to embrace our uniqueness. Addressing the toughest security challenges requires that we seek out and celebrate a diversity of ideas, perspectives, and voices. Training & Career Growth We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, training, and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional. Work/Life Balance We value work-life harmony.
