Application deadline: Jun 17, 2026

Amazon Traffic Engineering is looking for a Senior Red Team Security Engineer to join a new offensive security team focused on bot mitigation and DDoS defense. You'll design and execute adversarial simulations against Amazon's internet-facing infrastructure, testing the systems that protect billions of customer requests daily.

Traffic Engineering securely connects all customers worldwide to SDO services and Stores marketplaces. We focus on protecting and optimizing internet-facing services, while meeting the evolving standards of the public-facing internet. As GenAI capabilities rapidly advance, with AI agents autonomously browsing the web, agentic browsers executing multi-step tasks, and LLM-powered bots capable of mimicking human behavior at scale, the threat landscape is fundamentally shifting. You will be a technical leader on this team, developing novel attack methodologies to stay ahead of adversaries leveraging autonomous agents for scraping, inventory manipulation, and distributed attacks.

Key job responsibilities
- Design and execute red team engagements targeting bot detection platforms, WAFs, CDN protections, and DDoS mitigation services
- Develop and maintain custom offensive tooling — anti-detect browser automation, TLS fingerprint manipulation (JA3/JA3S), Canvas/WebGL evasion, and behavioral replay systems
- Research and simulate emerging AI-driven attack vectors including autonomous browsing agents, LLM-powered bots, and agentic scraping techniques
- Mentor junior engineers on tradecraft, engagement methodology, and responsible offensive operations
- Collaborate with detection engineering teams to translate findings into measurable defensive improvements; author detailed technical reports with actionable remediation guidance
