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.
