About The Position

Strategic Business Systems (SBS) is expanding its AWS Professional Services team to support a high-priority, mission-critical national security program. We’ve already begun standing up core infrastructure and are now scaling the team to deliver additional capabilities in a fast-moving, high-visibility environment. This is a hands-on role where you’ll work directly with AWS teams and customer stakeholders to design, build, and deploy secure, scalable solutions. The work supports critical national security objectives and spans AI-driven applications, foundational cloud infrastructure, and secure data movement across classification boundaries. You’ll contribute to building AWS environments in classified regions, enabling agent-based AI workflows, and supporting cross-domain data pipelines that move data securely between networks. If you enjoy building real systems, solving hard problems, and working on efforts that have direct impact, this is a strong fit.
