You will also continuously review existing security standards and stay abreast of new industry developments that strengthen the physical security of AWS data centers and colocations, identifying opportunities to raise the security bar and reduce costs. You will work directly with the Data Center Security Operations team, Design Engineers, System Engineering, Construction Managers, Build TPMs, and other stakeholders — both internal and external — to translate business requirements into physical security system design and implementation. Your work will include supporting the design and deployment of physical security packages and program enhancements for the AWS data centers in your assigned portfolio.
The ideal candidate is willing and able to work across multiple disciplines and at all levels: physical security system design and layout, construction and implementation, and oversight of system maintenance and upgrades over the life of multiple projects. You have in-depth knowledge of security technology, are innovative and highly organized, and know how to deliver results on time and on budget. The role may involve travel, and the ability to work autonomously is essential. You can solve ambiguous problems, proactively identify existing or emerging security vulnerabilities, and apply mitigation strategies to reduce overall risk. You understand and effectively apply program- and project-management best practices, and you may be asked to assess processes, program plans, and operational requirements. You work with teams to improve concurrent project delivery, streamline or eliminate excess process, and help teams decouple from dependencies and remove problems that slow innovation or cause customer dissatisfaction.
