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
Here at AWS, we embrace our differences.

We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion.

We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally.

We have innovative benefit offerings, and we host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon conferences.

Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 16 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.

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’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.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform.

If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.

We value work-life harmony.

Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture.

When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.

Here at AWS, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious.

Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences.

Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.
