Amazon is hiring a senior applied scientist for the permissions layer of the AWS data catalog in Vancouver, working on-site. The job is to design the language and formal semantics customers use to grant access across catalogs, databases, tables, columns and rows, plus the evaluation path that turns a policy into an authorization decision on every request, and the detection of drift between intent and enforcement. The posting asks for a PhD or a master's with six years of applied research, machine learning experience, and Java, C++ or Python. Publications and talks are expected.
