Data Center Security Specialist, DC Security

Amazon Web Services (AWS) serves customers and developers who rely on storage,

compute, and our other service capabilities. Our customers trust us to handle

their data with air-tight security measures, which is something that we

guarantee.

AWS is growing rapidly, and we are looking for a Data Center Security Specialist

to join our expanding Infrastructure Operations team.

Key job responsibilities

As a Data Center Security Specialist (individual contributor) you will be tasked

with driving operational security excellence in several separate facilities

located within a short driving distance. Your constant vigilance will discover

physical security gaps and shortcomings, which you will drive to fix

immediately. You will interface and direct vendors involved in new security

construction, repairs, daily security operations and patrols, and planning. You

will extract metrics and observe improvements by looking at hard data. You will

make suggestions on improving electronic surveillance and access controls. You

will direct efforts to educate data center occupants on false alarm reductions.

You will write and implement security process and procedures. Your position will

require you to write reports, create presentations and communicate with

management on the status of physical security operations.

About the team

AWS Infrastructure Services (AIS) 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.
