Amazon’s Offensive Security, Penetration Testing Team is seeking a Program Manager (PM) to help keep Amazon's applications and services secure for its customers. This team is responsible for attacking Amazon’s services, applications, and websites; and partnering with service teams to remediate weaknesses and sharpen our software development lifecycle.
