Principal Security SA, AWS Industries Tech, Security Specialists

Do you want to solve the hardest security challenges behind the world's most ambitious innovations? Join AWS as a Principal Security Solutions Architect and become the advisor that industry-leading organizations rely on to move faster and safer in the AI era, against a threat landscape that reinvents itself every day.

Our team is dedicated to the world's largest and most recognized enterprises - the organizations whose innovations define their industries - and you will be part of the group that supports them directly. The toughest, highest-stakes security problems are the ones standing between their boldest ideas and real-world impact, and that is where you come in. You turn security, risk, and compliance into an accelerator for innovation rather than a barrier to it, helping customers adopt AWS - including AI specific solutions - securely, modernize their security capabilities and practices, and help customers defend against emerging threats.

You'll be the trusted advisor who owns multiple CISO relationships and earns a place on their speed dial, sitting shoulder to shoulder with the business and technology decision makers at these organizations to turn their hardest problems into outcomes that move their industry forward. Internally, you'll be recognized as a key thought leader and influence how AWS shapes its platform to meet the evolving needs of our customers - raising their security bar while enabling them to move faster and safer.

This role supports customers in the healthcare and life sciences industry, so an interest in or exposure to that space is a welcome bonus, though it is the security and AI expertise you bring that matters most.

If you love solving hard problems, want your work to matter, and get energy from helping others succeed, this is a place to do the best work of your career.

• Serve as the trusted security advisor to the customers you support, owning relationships with CISOs and other senior business and technology decision makers
• Operate in ambiguous, first-of-their-kind situations where no established playbook exists, bringing clarity and creating the approach others will follow
• Decompose your customers' hardest security, risk, and compliance problems into clear architectures they can confidently implement
• Think big and drive security change at industry scale, shaping how entire sectors - not just individual customers - adopt and secure emerging technology
• Advise on securing AI workloads, from protecting sensitive data to safely adopting new generative and agentic capabilities
• Help customers stay ahead of a fast-changing threat landscape and strengthen their defenses against emerging threats
• Operate with a high degree of independence, setting your own direction and delivering strategic outcomes with minimal guidance
• Create reusable guidance, reference architectures, and best practices that scale your impact far beyond any single engagement
• Advocate for your customers by channeling their needs and emerging trends into the AWS services roadmap
• Establish thought leadership, inside AWS and publicly, through writing, speaking, and engagement with the broader security community

No two days look the same. One morning you might be deep in a working session with a customer's security architects, untangling a thorny compliance question that's been holding up a major launch. By the afternoon you're in front of a CISO, helping them think through how to safely adopt AI without slowing their teams down. In between, you're comparing notes with other security advisors, sharing a pattern you developed, and flagging a customer trend to the AWS service teams who can act on it.

Some days you're writing or speaking; every day you're making…
