A day in the life
In the morning you will take handover from the prior site. You will accept ownership of security issues presently in-flight. The issues could relate to a range of physical, logical, or technical products and services, so you will often need to learn on the go. You will engage various stakeholders, such as internal service teams, along with AWS Security Leadership, Legal, and the leadership from the impacted service team. As the day progresses, new issues will be assigned to you based on your workload and you will be responsible for triaging them, determining their level of impact, and work towards resolving them at the appropriate pace. At the end of the day, you will document all the issues you are tracking so they can be taken over by the site relieving you. In addition to the day to day incident response work, you will act as an escalation point for the team, ensuring we are driving the appropriate outcomes. As capacity allows, you will work on strategic projects. You will support our 24x7x365 global response team with oncall coverage as required.
