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.
Colo Physical Security Architects at AWS work with our Colocation Vendor
partners to design safe, secure, resilient, cost-effective Data Center (DC)
facilities. As a Colo Physical Security Architect, you will lead security
designs for Colocation DCs throughout our Europe, Middle East and Africa Region
and impact AWS global colo data center 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 Colo data center facilities, solve large-scale implementation
issues, and be responsible for developing and communicating security design
requirements to internal and external project partners.
As a Colo Physical Security Architect, you will work directly with other AWS
Security Teams, AWS Management, and Colo Vendor 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 standards 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).
Key job responsibilities
• Lead designs (construction drawings and specifications) for physical security
elements (cameras, access control, intrusion detection, fences, gates, etc.) for

standards, evaluate cost, risk and benefits of designs, and facilitate design
discussions.

impactful. You will have the opportunity to work on projects locally and
globally.
