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.
Key job responsibilities
As an Amazon Security Field Engineer, you will provide full life-cycle support to AWS Data Centers from design inception through site improvement and maintenance. You will be the ‘go to’ engineering resource for your region when technical advice is needed, and will use your subject matter expertise and engage with diverse teams to:
- Perform design and equipment submittal review for security products in our Data Centers.
- Troubleshoot, conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and create Corrective Action (CA) documentation for site/equipment failures.
- Directly support operational issues with ad-hoc training, complex operating procedure reviews, including critical equipment and event support.
- Review designs for existing products, which improve security/efficiency.- Work on concurrent projects, sometimes in multiple geographical regions.A day in the life
You will operate with high autonomy owning engineering reviews, bar-raising initiatives, and root cause analyses for security infrastructure products. This role has a high level of discretion with regards to daily activities. While not always daily, your skills will provide a valuable part in assessing the risks and failures associated with security products protecting our data centers. Each day you will interact with different teams responsible for all aspects of the data centers. You will serve as the technical security expert for our partner platform teams, so other responsibilities will ebb and flow out of daily priority including threat modeling, standards writing, architecture consultations, and designing proactive security systems. You will have the opportunity to work on projects locally and globally.About the team
