The Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) Identity and Access Management team is building the secure identity, authentication, and authorization systems for the AWS cloud. We are innovating new ways of building massively scalable and globally distributed security systems providing identity and access management, federation, web services security, and single sign on. Our services empower AWS customers to use AWS services such as EC2, S3, VPC, RDS and CloudFront securely, and allow customers to configure AWS to meet their individual security requirements.

This leader will help define and drive the product strategy and roadmap that will cement AWS as the leader in the area of cloud computing security.
