Principle Product Manager-Technical, AWS WAF, AWS Web Application Firewall
Amazon
Full-time
On-site
Seattle, Washington, United States
$163,000 - $281,800 USD yearly
Web Application Firewall (WAF) makes it easy for customers to author firewall policies which inspect incoming HTTP requests to help protect their applications from attacks by allowing them to configure rules that allow, block, monitor (count), or CAPTCHA web requests based on conditions that they define. These conditions include IP addresses, HTTP headers, HTTP body, URI strings, SQL injection and cross-site scripting. By supporting association with CloudFront, Application Load Balancer, API Gateway, and AppSync customers can protect their applications and resources whether all in on the Cloud, maintaining on-premise data centers, or using a hybrid Cloud approach.
What challenges does the WAF Team tackle?
We build a highly available low latency distributed system that allows customers to propagate changes worldwide in minutes to respond to active attacks in real-time. We’re fully integrated with several others AWS Services to give customers the insight and control they need.
What is special about the WAF Team?
We own the direct customer experience as well as the per request processing of rules for CloudFront, API Gateway, Application Load Balancer, and AppSync. Not only do we build an AWS Security service, but we’re a customer of AWS using other AWS services to provide the solutions to our customers that scale and seamlessly integrate with their existing workflows. Leaders on our team get to solve some of the hardest computer science problems including building highly available distributed micro-services and global scaling across both AWS Regions and CloudFront edge locations.
Who we are looking for?
The WAF team is looking for a Principal Product Manager to help us build new services and improve our existing services for internal and external customers.
You will work closely with other teams, our security experts and engineers to identify opportunities to launch new products and continually improve our defenses against the threat actors.

You have exceptional customer relationship skills including the ability to discover the true requirements underlying feature requests, recommend alternative technical and business approaches, and lead engineering efforts to meet aggressive timelines with optimal solutions Strong product leadership. You have a history of innovative product definition backed by good judgment. You have excellent communication skills and the ability to drive cross-team collaboration
