AWS offers a cloud platform with a global reach and we are looking for a passionate and innovative technical security thinker to help the expansion of the Security Experience practice. This is a role for someone that is looking to change the way that AWS interacts with our customers. You’ll have the opportunity to create new security experiences & environments for our customers covering topics including strategy & risk management, building & deploying security infrastructure, or automating security operations...and beyond.

The AWS Professional Services team works with Public Sector and SLG/ EDU customers to operationalize the shared responsibility model as they migrate to the cloud. Do you like helping people envision new ways of securing a cloud infrastructure? Do you have ideas for new ways to experience security operations instead of traditional lecture and documented best practice?


The ideal candidate should be a highly technical security professional who has the ability to take customers on a journey through securing their infrastructure. They will need to be able to develop highly scalable applications that adhere to cloud and security best practices.


Our Consultants work with a variety of Public Sector & Government customers in a variety of locations across the US. As such, Consultants must have the ability to travel to client locations to sell and deliver professional services as needed. This can vary depending on the customers supported, 30% to 50% can be typical, sometimes higher during peak times. Please check with the hiring team for more information.

Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 14 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

Our team also puts a high value on work-life balance. Striking a healthy balance between your personal and professional life is crucial to your happiness and success here, which is why we aren’t focused on how many hours you spend at work or online. Instead, we’re happy to offer a flexible schedule so you can have a more productive and well-balanced life—both in and outside of work.
