AWS Global Sales (AGS) drives adoption of the AWS cloud worldwide, enabling customers of all sizes to innovate and expand in the cloud. Our team empowers every customer to grow by providing tailored service, unmatched technology, and unwavering support. We dive deep to understand each customer’s unique challenges, then craft innovative solutions that accelerate their success. This customer‑first approach is how we built the world’s most adopted cloud.

Join us and help us grow.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is looking for a passionate and experienced professional to assist customers in migrating workloads to the cloud. The ideal candidate will address customer identity and access management requirements across both workforce and customer identity, and help them secure their generative AI applications.

• Independently contribute to teams that include Amazonians, partners, and customers to design and build both workforce and customer identity capabilities.
• Provide security expertise and support for customers implementing generative AI technologies, ensuring secure and compliant deployments.
• Design and build solutions to automate security, risk, and compliance on AWS.
• Develop high‑quality technical artifacts, such as automation tools, reference architectures, and white papers to help our customers, partners, solution architects, and consultants build secure solutions.

The AGS Security Solutions Architecture team is the trusted security partner to some of AWS’s largest and most security‑conscious customers in North America. We hold the security relationship and security agenda continuously, helping customers design, operate, and advance their security programs on AWS across multi‑year journeys, securing new workloads, navigating the use and integration of new services, and keeping pace with an evolving threat landscape.

The work spans the boardroom and the keyboard in the same week: framing a Zero Trust or AI‑security roadmap a CISO can defend to their board, leading a hands‑on architecture review with their engineers, and publishing guidance the security community uses to strengthen their defenses. We lead with prescription over generic advice, stay a step ahead of fast‑moving threats and technology, and trust every person to carry the most senior security conversations with the customers we support.

• 8+ years of experience in technology domains such as software development, cloud computing, systems engineering, infrastructure, security, networking, data & analytics.
• 3+ years of design, implementation, or consulting in applications and infrastructure.
• 10+ years of IT development or implementation/consulting in the software or Internet industries.

• Experience communicating across technical and non‑technical audiences, including executive‑level stakeholders or clients.
• Experience in a customer‑facing role, engaging with customer executives, technologists or partners to solve business problems with advanced technologies.
• Master’s degree or above in computer science, computer engineering, or related field, or experience working in STEM.
• Hands‑on technical expertise designing and implementing security for AI and agentic workloads.
• Expertise in designing solutions with IAM platforms (e.g., Okta, Active Directory, Entra , AWS Cognito) for single sign‑on services for applications.
• Hands‑on experience using identity standards (SAML 2.0, OAuth 2, OIDC) and modern security principles (zero trust, multi‑factor authentication, passwordless technologies).

Your Amazon package will include sign‑on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location. Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and optional supplemental life plans), Employee Assistance Program, mental health support, medical advice line, flexible spending accounts, adoption and surrogacy reimbursement coverage, 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
