Amazon's Security team is seeking a Systems Security Development Engineer to create and integrate security automation for a classified AI Factory on a fully air-gapped platform. This role involves working closely with infrastructure engineers to ensure security is embedded from the start, rather than added later. The position requires a strong understanding of systems engineering and security tooling integration. Candidates must be U.S. Citizens with an active TS/SCI security clearance and polygraph.

• 3+ years of systems engineering, systems development, or DevSecOps experience.
• Hands-on experience with Linux systems administration, automation (Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent), and scripting (Python, Bash).
• Experience integrating security tooling into infrastructure (SIEM, endpoint, vulnerability scanning).
• Understanding of Kubernetes, containerized workloads, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Current, active US Government Security Clearance of TS/SCI with Polygraph.
• Experience working in an Agile environment using the Scrum methodology.
• Experience in air-gapped, classified, or disconnected environments.
• Familiarity with STIG application, CIS benchmarks, and hardening automation.
• Experience with multi-vendor COTS integration (storage, networking, compute).
• Security certification (e.g., Security+, CySA+, RHCSA).

• 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.
