Description
AWS Security is looking for a driven professional to join its high-security systems engineering team to manage the operation of our physical access control system (PACS), as well as help us automate a sustainable and robust architecture for future growth.

Engineers on this team play an integral role in the future of physical security. You will own the integration with enterprise and commodity hardware through proprietary and open source protocols, build extensible management tooling by which customers are delighted, produce infrastructure as code and robust operational monitoring that scales with our growing infrastructure.

- Architect and implement enterprise-scale security solutions from conception to production, including custom PACS integrations and security automation frameworks
- Design and develop high-availability distributed systems with emphasis on security, scalability, and fault tolerance
- Lead the development of custom security tools and frameworks for system hardening, threat detection, and automated incident response
- Architect and implement zero-trust security models for critical infrastructure components
- Design and build custom APIs and middleware solutions for security system integration
- Develop advanced automation frameworks for infrastructure as code (IaC) deployment and configuration management
- Create sophisticated monitoring and alerting systems using machine learning for anomaly detection
- Implement cryptographic solutions for secure communication between distributed systems
- Design and implement custom authentication and authorization protocols
- Lead technical design reviews and security architecture assessments
- Mentor junior engineers and establish technical best practices
