Content Security Engineer, GME Content Security
Posted Updated
Description
The Content Security team protects pre-release content across Amazon Global Media and Entertainment. This Content Security Engineer role combines hands-on production security advisory with technical execution: securing content creation workflows, researching and developing next-generation protection measures, and maintaining the cloud infrastructure and tooling that power our security mechanisms. You will work directly with studio and production teams across the content creation lifecycle (pre-production, production, post-production, and delivery) while also driving forward-looking initiatives to address emerging threats, including those introduced by generative AI. You will also review the tools and services internal teams build to handle pre-release content, making sure content security measures are built in from the start. This requires a deep understanding of each tool's use cases and workflow context so that controls are right-sized to the actual risk. You will use AI and automation to scale and mechanize content security operations.
