A day in the life

We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.
About the team
AWS Trust & Safety team ingests, categorizes, investigates, and mitigates reports of abuse originating from the AWS IP space. T&S Abuse is the primary entity responsible for taking mitigative actions against customer resources that violate the AWS AUP or otherwise threaten other AWS customers, services, and AWS IP Integrity. We work closely with AWS service teams to determine appropriate mitigative actions and act as the customer facing outreach team on their behalf. We cover investigations for Simple Email Service (SES), Pinpoint (PP) Email, Simple Notification Service Short Messaging Service (SNS SMS), Pinpoint Short Messaging Service (PP SMS) and Pinpoint Voice as anti-abuse investigators for both NA and FE regions. AWS Digital Messaging support encompasses limit increases, production access requests, add-on service contract management (Dedicated Short/Long Code, SenderID), enforcement issues (pausing accounts displaying reputation disruption behaviors) and appeals of enforcement actions with minimal SOP guidance and advanced level of ambiguity.
