The International Monetary Fund has a key position in promoting the health of the world economy. Established in 1944 as a part of the United Nations system, the IMF's primary purpose is to ensure the stability of the international monetary system—the system of exchange rates and international payments that enables countries and their citizens to buy goods and services from each other. This is essential for sustainable economic growth and rising living standards.

To maintain stability and prevent crises in the international monetary system, the IMF conducts surveillance of national, regional, and global economic and financial developments. It provides advice to its 190 member countries, encouraging them to adopt policies that foster economic stability, reduce their vulnerability to economic and financial crises, and raise living standards. The IMF also serves as a forum where its global membership can discuss the national, regional, and global consequences of their policies.

The IMF makes financing temporarily available to member countries to help them address balance of payments problems—that is, when they find themselves short of foreign exchange to meet their payments to other countries.

Finally, the IMF provides countries with training to help them build the expertise and institutions they need for economic stability and growth. Supporting all of these activities is the institution's work in economic research and statistics.

**Description**

Are you excited about advancing the state of threat detection at scale to mitigate risk from an ever-evolving threat landscape impacting a diverse range of businesses?

Amazon Stores Security's Threat Detection team is looking for a highly motivated Security Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will research emerging threats to develop new detection ideas and build high-confidence detections that proactively identify malicious activity across large-scale log data. You will work closely with Incident Response, Threat Hunting, Threat Intelligence, and Red Team to understand threat models and deliver detections that enable rapid response. You will also develop innovative methods utilizing the latest techniques to detect threats at scale. Your expertise will help defend the data of Amazon's millions of customers against the most critical threats.

Key job responsibilities

-  Identify critical threats targeting Amazon's network by leveraging threat intelligence and security research, then deliver high-fidelity threat detections aligned to attacker tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs).

-  Enhance detection engineering processes by improving how detections are scoped, prioritized, developed, tested, and maintained throughout their lifecycle.

-  Develop platform requirements to enrich alerts with contextual data, reduce false positives, and automate remediation and response actions in coordination with incident response teams.

-  Research and develop mechanisms to advance detection capabilities through machine learning, advanced data correlation, risk-based alerting, or generative AI.

-  Automate your way through challenges using Python or other scripting languages to build tooling, validate detections, and streamline operational workflows at scale.

A day in the life

Most days you'll be heads-down building and tuning detections, digging into log data to figure out what malicious activity looks like and how to catch it reliably. You'll spend time reading up on the latest threats and turning that research into something actionable. You'll also work on advancing how we detect threats, whether that's prototyping new approaches using machine learning or generative AI, improving enrichment pipelines, or finding ways to scale what we do. It's a mix of deep technical work and close collaboration with security teams across the organization.

CSIS Middle East Program

**Job Summary**

The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a non-profit, bipartisan public policy organization established in 1962 to provide strategic insights and practical policy solutions to decision makers concerned with global security and prosperity. Over the years, it has grown to be one of the largest organizations of its kind, with a staff of some 250 employees, including more than 120 analysts working to address the changing dynamics of international security across the globe.

The Chair in India and Emerging Asia Economics (India Chair) serves as CSIS’s focal point for policy-relevant work on India, with a longstanding emphasis on strengthening U.S.-India economic engagement, supporting Indian economic reform, and advancing cooperation with India at the national and subnational levels. The Chair’s work is highly action-oriented, emphasizing stakeholder engagement, policy-relevant convening, and practical solutions over purely academic research.

As India undergoes rapid and uneven urbanization, cities will increasingly shape India’s economic growth, climate resilience, infrastructure needs, and governance outcomes. The Chair seeks to deepen its work in this area by launching a dedicated urbanization and urban governance workstream.

CSIS seeks a senior, part-time leader to design, build, and lead an India-focused urbanization and urban governance workstream. The role is well suited to a professional with approximately 10 or more years of experience in urban policy, urban planning, development finance, public administration, or Indian governance. This is a temporary role, with the potential for extension contingent on performance, particularly the successful development of a sustainable fundraising pipeline. The Senior Visiting Fellow will be expected to play a leading role in securing financial support for the workstream, including cultivating donor relationships and generating project funding.

The successful candidate will bring a strong understanding of urban planning and urban systems, combined with familiarity with India’s urban governance challenges, including fragmented authority, municipal finance constraints, service delivery, and center–state–city relations. The work will emphasize policy-relevant insights and practitioner engagement, rather than academic research alone.

This role involves agenda-setting, partner engagement, and shaping funded projects, with limited administrative and research support available.

This role will be supported by a dedicated Program Coordinator/ Research Assistant on our full-time staff. This PC-RA will support a second “Senior Fellow” building out a separate workstream (strategic technology policy). The Senior Fellow will be expected to be in the office two days per week.

This is a part-time term appointment, and the hired candidate will be paid an hourly rate of $83.33-85.00 commensurate with experience.

-  Organize events (in-person, virtual) to elevate key policy issues.

-  Represent CSIS and the India Chair in high-level meetings, workshops, and private-roundtable discussions on urbanization issues.

Building Ongoing Work

-  Identify and cultivate partnerships with key potential donors- foundations, high net worth individuals, companies, and others.

-  Establish a pipeline of funded projects to sustain and grow the urbanization workstream over time. Successful efforts will lead to an extension and shifting to full-time status.

-  Prepare one or more proposals that comply with CSIS project standards and “arms-length standards” with donors and pitch to potential donors.

Partner and Ecosystem Development

-  Identify and cultivate partnerships with

- Indian urban institutions and reform-minded city leaders
