You will have the opportunity to work in a supportive, collaboration-filled environment to build and secure the future of the cloud.

This could include physical aspects of facilities such as cameras and storage areas, digital aspects of manufacturing networks and systems, software development lifecycle (SDLC) and image source control, audit mechanisms that are durable/repeatable, and a wide variety of other security controls. The ideal candidate will have past experience in technical equipment manufacturing operations, and a solid understanding of supply chain business considerations such component sourcing, process optimization, logistics and customs, etc. A day in the life In this role, you will assess risks to AWS originating at suppliers, and own the specification and shepherding of security requirements for hardware/firmware lifecycle processes.
