The Amazon Web Services Professional Services (ProServe) team is seeking a hands-on, security-focused Delivery Consultant to join our team. You will design, build, and implement security solutions in real customer environments — writing infrastructure as code, engineering detective and preventive controls, and architecting security into workloads from the ground up. You'll work at the intersection of cloud architecture and security engineering, helping customers embed security as a foundational capability rather than an afterthought. The emphasis in this role is on engineering automated, repeatable security controls that scale across complex environments.
You'll partner with customers navigating complex cloud transformations — helping them build security architectures that are automated, scalable, and operationally sustainable. You will bring deep knowledge of AWS security services and a builder's mindset, working across identity, network security, data protection, detection and response, and infrastructure security — designing solutions that let customers move fast and stay secure.
As a trusted technical advisor, you will guide customers through security architecture decisions, threat modelling, and the implementation of security controls across multi-account environments. You will lead by building — producing working code, reusable patterns, and reference architectures that customers and the broader community can adopt.
