Security Consultant

The Security Consultant works in AWS Professional Services’ Security, Risk and Compliance (SRC) team, delivering cybersecurity consulting for enterprise customers. Projects include security roadmaps, architecture design and review, technical assessments, incident response, compliance planning, and security-control implementation. The role also contributes to presales and works with AWS teams and partners. Applicants need cybersecurity consulting, technology-management, or service-operations experience and security design or implementation in application security, identity and access management, infrastructure security, data protection, logging and monitoring, or incident detection and response. The source differs on scope: one qualification accepts one or more areas; another says multiple. Required hands-on backgrounds include software development, system administration, network engineering, or systems architecture, along with collaboration across delivery and IT/security teams and strong cloud and IT systems knowledge. Customer-facing project leadership, consulting to solve complex technical problems, clear communication, and familiarity with zero-trust and secure software development are also required. One passage specifies at least three years; another gives no duration.
