About This Role

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 Engineers [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 Engineer [Architect], you will lead

security designs for Colocation DCs throughout our Americas 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 Engineer [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).
