Description

Are you passionate about creating innovative solutions that solve challenging National Security problems? Do you like helping customers envision new ways of securing a cloud infrastructure? Do you have ideas for new ways to experience security operations instead of traditional lecture and documented best practice?

Amazon Web Services is looking for a passionate and innovative technical security, risk, and compliance thinker to help the expansion of our National Security Professional Services team. This is a role for someone that is looking to change the way that AWS interacts with our customers. You’ll have the opportunity to create new security experiences and environments for our customers, covering topics including strategy and risk management, building and deploying security infrastructure, automating security operations, and beyond.

The ideal candidate should be a highly technical security professional who has the ability to take customers on a journey through securing their infrastructure. They will need to be able to develop highly scalable applications that adhere to cloud and security best practices.

In this role you will:

• Deliver architecture guidance, lead proof-of-concept projects, and conduct customer/partner workshops.

• Collaborate with customers and partners to address the security, risk, and compliance needs of their AWS workloads.

• Specialize in all aspects of information security management as well as business and regulatory compliance using cloud services in large-scale computing environments.

This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph. The position further requires the candidate to opt into a commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.
