Security Systems Engineer, AWS Infrastructure Security Product & Solutions, Security Products

Overview

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we are the team that keeps the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on.

We work on the most challenging problems, designing and scaling systems that protect the world's largest cloud infrastructure. We are looking for talented people who want to help.

Within AWS Infrastructure Services the AWS Infrastructure Security – Security Products & Solutions (SPS) team is a global engineering organization responsible for the end‑to‑end lifecycle of physical security products and solutions deployed across all AWS data centers worldwide. Our portfolio spans the full range of physical security technologies, including video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, media destruction, and more.

We own everything from initial design and engineering through deployment, operational enablement and eventual decommissioning. The team develops standards, SOPs, automation, runbooks and training to enable operations teams in the field to maintain and scale these systems reliably.

• Design and engineer physical security systems for AWS data centers, including access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection and related technologies.
• Develop technical specifications, product requirements and build plans for security system implementations.
• Evaluate and recommend solutions that balance security effectiveness, cost, scalability and operational complexity.
• Drive complex system integration projects across internal teams and external partners.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with AWS organizations to integrate security requirements into designs and standards.
• Contribute to the standardization of security system designs across the global data center portfolio.
• Develop automation solutions that improve the efficiency and reliability of security system deployment, configuration and management.
• Create technical documentation, SOPs, runbooks and training materials that enable field operations teams to support products throughout the full lifecycle.
• Ensure compliance with internal security standards, policies and organizational requirements.

Travel will be necessary but should not exceed 25%, including occasional international travel to support cross‑regional initiatives and deployments.

Day‑to‑day, you collaborate with your team and cross‑functional partners to deliver security products and solutions across the full lifecycle. You might evaluate emerging security technologies with vendors, create automation to streamline system configurations at scale, or troubleshoot a complex integration challenge with a partner team. You identify and communicate technical issues early, propose solutions and work with internal partners to align on the best path forward.

You seek to understand the broader business context behind the security infrastructure you build, ensuring your solutions meet both immediate needs and long‑term goals. You actively seek feedback, iterate to raise the bar and take ownership of your contributions to the team’s collective knowledge and customer outcomes.

The team is small but highly capable, supporting the end‑to‑end lifecycle of security devices. This role is expected to own solutions from problem statement to business requirements, through alpha and beta testing to enterprise‑wide deployment. It will also create support documentation for deployment teams to troubleshoot.
