About this role
Sr. Applied Scientist, Enterprise Security Products Austin, Texas, USA What happens when you combine startup speed with Amazon-scale innovation and impact? You get this team.

Own the critical novelty in our systems and provide system-wide design guidance. * Experiment with rigor and speed: Design and run offline and online experiments to validate ideas quickly. Make
