Key job responsibilities
- Develop and improve the current data architecture, data quality, monitoring, and data availability
- Collaborate with Data Scientists to implement advanced analytics algorithms that exploit our rich data sets for statistical analysis, prediction, clustering, and machine learning
- Partner with Data Scientists and Business Analysts across teams to build and verify hypotheses to protect AWS services and customers from fraud
- Help continually improve ongoing reporting and analysis processes, simplifying self-service support for customers
- Keep up to date with advances in big data technologies and run pilots to design the data architecture to scale with the increased data sets of customer experience on AWS

About the team
AWS Fraud Prevention’s mission is to protect AWS and its customers from the cost, inconvenience, and damage due to fraudulent and abusive behaviors.

We aim to provide the best possible customer experience by balancing the cost of financial and reputational risk (e.g. OPEX, service unavailability) against customer friction (e.g. service limits, customer downtime).

To accomplish this mission, we employ a strategy that includes preventing access to AWS via the sign-up process, detecting fraudulent and abusive behaviors using Machine Learning models and rules, containing risky accounts by limiting access to service resources, investigating suspicious accounts, and remediating fraud and compromise within AWS by cleaning up account resources to recover service capacity.

Our team is dedicated to supporting new members.

We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge-sharing and mentorship.

Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews.

We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects that help our team members develop your engineering expertise, so you feel empowered to take on more complex tasks in the future.
