About this role

Sr. Applied Scientist, Amazon Cyber Threat Intelligence Annapolis Junction, Maryland, USA We are seeking a Senior Applied Scientist to pioneer the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning to cyber threat intelligence at Amazon scale. In this role, you will invent and deploy novel AI/ML systems that automate threat detection, accelerate intelligence analysis, and enable proactive defense capabilities. You will work on ambiguous, scientifically-complex problems where traditional engineering approaches fall short-from building predictive models that score threat likelihood against Amazon's specific attack surface, to developing graph neural networks that cluster adversary infrastructure, to creating LLM-powered systems that multiply analyst productivity. This is a unique opportunity to bring scientific rigor to one of the most consequential problem domains in technology-protecting hundreds of millions of customers and the infrastructure that powers the global economy. You will be the first Applied Scientist embedded within ACTI, establishing the science agenda and building the foundation for AI-driven threat intelligence at Amazon. This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen. Key job responsibilities Invent • Identify, frame, and solve scientifically-complex threat intelligence problems where no textbook solutions exist-including threat scoring, malware classification, infrastructure clustering, and intelligence automation • Drive the scientific agenda for AI/ML within ACTI by proposing research initiatives, defining success metrics, and securing management buy-in • Extend and invent machine learning techniques for cybersecurity applications, including anomaly detection on noisy data, few-shot learning for emerging threat families, and graph-based reasoning over attacker infrastructure • Publish research at peer-reviewed venues (e.g., USENIX
