About The Position

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation
of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the
cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage,
networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have
continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging
problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain — and we’re
looking for talented people who want to help.

You will collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest
standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at
the lowest possible cost for our customers. At AWS you will experience an
inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to
completion.

Physical Security Engineers at AWS work to design safe, secure, resilient,
cost-effective Data Center (DC) facilities. As a Physical Security Engineer at
AWS, you will lead security designs for DCs throughout our Americas Region and
impact AWS global DC security standards. You will be part of a highly creative
and efficient design team comprised of Architects, Engineers, and Designers
tasked with solving problems and challenging the status quo. As a subject matter
expert, you will provide technical guidance, have a direct impact on the design
of DC facilities, solve large-scale implementation issues, and be responsible
for developing and communicating security design requirements to internal and
external project partners.

As a Physical Security Engineer, you will work directly with other AWS Security
Teams, AWS Management, and partners to collaborate in the real-world application
of Physical Security throughout AWS. You will review and be very knowledgeable
of new technologies and security measures for possible application to the
existing suite of security processes and measures in order to enhance the
security posture across AWS. You should have a working knowledge of physical
security principles and how that relates to practical application and real-world
implementation of processes and measures, as well as working knowledge of Crime
Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED).
