The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Threat Intelligence Group (ATIG) is responsible for developing actionable intelligence on significant cyber threats to our services and our customers.

Your expertise in advanced actor techniques will also help influence Red Team activities to emulate the activities of real-world threats. In addition, you will script and help automate recurring tasks to improve the overall effectiveness of the team.

- Perform deep dive analysis of malicious artifacts related to emulated cyber threats by AWS Red Teams and other entities.
