Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking to hire a highly motivated, customer-obsessed individual to provide hands-on support to our Data Center Infrastructure Operations (Data Center Security Specialist)
The successful candidate will support the Data Center Physical Security Team with the implementation of AWS’s security policies and procedures at AWS Data Center(s). You will also be responsible for coordinating physical security operations, testing and conducting audit reviews of the Physical Security Program, provide support to the Contract Guard Force, contractors and all stakeholders within the Data Center. You will possess a willingness to learn new skills and build relationships with internal and external partners to maintain and enhance the safety and security standards of our Data Center operations. We invite candidates from diverse backgrounds to apply for this role as training will be provided. You may enroll on Oncall rotation as well.

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’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll 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. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
