DESCRIPTION
Do you want to decide where a fast-growing business places its next marketing bet — and prove whether it paid off? Enterprise security is one of the fastest-growing areas at Amazon Web Services (AWS), and it is a place where we form a hypothesis, run the experiment, and learn quickly what works and what does not. In this role you own the analysis behind those decisions: you measure how our marketing initiatives perform, diagnose which ones are moving the business, and recommend where we should invest to get the greatest return.
You pull together signals from customer research, campaign and web data, and product usage to build a data-based view of what is working, and then partner with product management, finance, go-to-market, and sales teams to pressure-test that view and turn it into a recommendation: where to double down, where to stop, what to test next, and what net-new initiatives we should design and launch. You move between deep analysis and initiative design, turning data and customer insight into a point of view that shapes how we grow. If you thrive at the intersection of marketing, data, and technology and want to shape how AWS grows its security business, this role is for you.

Product Security Engineer Jobs in Virginia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a product security engineer in Virginia?
Virginia does not require a state-issued license to work as a product security engineer, but most employers in the state expect a bachelor's degree in computer science, cybersecurity, or software engineering alongside industry certifications like CISSP or CSSLP. Because much of Virginia's market is defense and federal IT, obtaining a federal security clearance early is a concrete competitive advantage. Many roles list clearance eligibility as a baseline requirement rather than a preference.
Which companies hire product security engineers in Virginia?
Employers hiring product security engineers in Virginia right now include Capital One, Information Technology Senior Management Forum, and Amazon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Virginia's concentration of defense contractors and federal IT integrators means many openings sit within large program-support contracts tied to agencies like the Department of Defense and intelligence community.
Which Virginia cities have the most product security engineer jobs?
McLean, Arlington, and Herndon have the most product security engineer openings in Virginia. Northern Virginia dominates because of its dense cluster of defense contractors, cloud providers, and federal agency campuses, while Richmond draws openings from financial services and state government IT, and Hampton Roads reflects the heavy Naval and DoD presence that generates steady security engineering demand.
Are there remote product security engineer jobs in Virginia?
Yes, and more than many technical roles, since much of the work involves code review, security tooling, and architectural analysis that can be done off-site. About 75% of product security engineer openings tied to Virginia are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though roles requiring access to classified systems or secure facilities remain strictly on-site. Cloud security and application security positions are the most consistently remote-eligible specialties.
How can I get hired as a product security engineer in Virginia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a junior security analyst or associate software engineer role at a Virginia defense contractor or federal IT firm, where companies like Leidos and Booz Allen Hamilton run structured new-graduate programs and clearance-sponsorship tracks. Earning a CompTIA Security+ or completing a CSSLP associate certification before applying signals readiness to Virginia hiring managers. Lateral moves from quality assurance engineering or DevOps roles are also a common stepping stone that Virginia employers recognize.
Where can I find and apply to product security engineer jobs in Virginia?
