## About the Role

Computer Security, Government, Automation, Computer Security, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Machine Tool, Configuration Management, Cisco Network Systems, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI)

## Description

Amazon"s Security team is looking for a Systems Security Development Engineer to design, build, and integrate security automation and tooling for a U.S. Government program delivering a classified AI Factory on a fully air-gapped platform. This is not a traditional cloud environment; there is no AWS control plane, no internet connectivity, and no existing security automation to inherit. You will engineer the systems that integrate security controls into the platform build, including hardening automation, configuration management, log pipeline engineering, and security tool integration across a multi-vendor COTS stack (Kubernetes, ONTAP, NVIDIA, Cisco, Thales). You will work hands-on with infrastructure engineers to ensure security is built into the platform from day one, not bolted on after delivery.

This position requires that the candidate selected be a US Citizen and must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI security clearance with polygraph.

Key job responsibilities

 * Engineer security automation for platform hardening, STIG application, and configuration enforcement.
 * Build and maintain log pipelines and telemetry collection for the air-gapped SIEM.
 * Integrate security tooling (endpoint protection, vulnerability scanning, detection) into the platform stack.
 * Develop and maintain infrastructure-as-code for security components.
 * Support security control implementation and evidence generation for RMF authorization.
 * Partner with platform engineering to integrate identity, secrets management, and crypto services.
