Amazon • Arlington, VA

About The Position

Are you ready to shape the future of secure artificial intelligence — not just
from the sidelines, but from the center of the action? The AWS Generative AI
Innovation Center stands at the forefront of the AI revolution, where we're not
just advising on technology — we're building it, securing it, and delivering it
alongside the world's most innovative organizations.

As businesses race to adopt transformative GenAI capabilities, security isn't
just a checkbox — it's the foundation that makes innovation possible. In this
role, you'll be both the guardian and the builder — ensuring every GenAIIC
engagement meets AWS' security bar while also rolling up your sleeves to deliver
secure GenAI solutions directly to customers.

We're seeking a GenAI Security Consultant to serve as both engagement security
leader and hands-on security practitioner across the full spectrum of GenAIIC
delivery. You'll conduct security assessments and reviews for engagements across
the global footprint, then step into those same engagements as a billable
consultant, architect, and builder. From Proof of Concepts to Forward Deployed
Engineering to traditional ProServe consulting, you'll be the security expert
who ensures we deliver at the AWS security bar while driving customer outcomes.
Why This Role Matters

In the GenAI Innovation Center, we deliver transformative GenAI solutions
through multiple delivery models — POCs that prove what's possible, innovations
that push the boundaries, FDE engagements that build alongside customers, and
ProServe consulting that scales expertise. Security excellence must span all of
these, and it requires someone who can operate at multiple altitudes —
conducting governance and oversight one moment, writing secure code the next.

You'll be:
- Conducting security assessments, architecture reviews, and compliance
evaluations across GenAIIC engagements globally, ensuring every delivery meets
AWS security standards before, during, and after customer work
- Embedding as a billable security consultant within customer engagements across
POCs, innovations, FDE, and ProServe delivery models, providing hands-on
security architecture, implementation, and guidance
- Holding and enforcing the AWS security bar across diverse engagement types and
customer contexts, translating security requirements into practical, deployable
solutions
- Partnering with internal delivery teams, AWS Security, ProServe Security, and
third-party partners to architect and implement security controls that are both
rigorous and pragmatic
- Building reusable security patterns, accelerators, and reference architectures
based on real engagement experience that scale your impact across the practice

The Innovation Opportunity

This role sits at the intersection of governance and delivery, giving you
visibility and influence across the entire GenAIIC portfolio. You'll have the
unique opportunity to:

- Shape security standards and practices for GenAIIC engagements through your
oversight role, then validate and refine those standards through hands-on
delivery
- Work across the full spectrum of GenAIIC delivery models, building expertise
in POC security, innovation prototyping, forward-deployed engineering, and
traditional consulting
- Deliver billable consulting services that directly impact customer success
while also driving the security posture of the broader GenAIIC practice
- Build a reputation as a security expert who can navigate complex governance
requirements and deliver production-ready solutions under pressure

If you're energized by operating at multiple levels — strategic oversight and
hands-on delivery — if you're passionate about both governance and building, and
if you want to be the security expert who ensures GenAIIC delivers securely at
scale, this role is for you. Join us in shaping and delivering the future of
secure AI innovation at AWS.
