at Amazon in Chicago, Illinois, United States
Job Description
Description
AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. In other words, we’re the people who keep the cloud running. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain – and we’re looking for talented people who want to help.
You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to help us deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. And you’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.
This position can be located in Herndon, VA or Minneapolis, MN.
Supply Chain Security Assessors at AWS work in a supportive, collaborative-filled environment to ensure AWS maintains a trustworthy and socially responsible global supply chain. In this role, you will work directly with internal security experts and external supply chain partners to help perform comprehensive risk assessments and provide security recommendations. You will analyze public and commercial information, and interact directly with suppliers to assess everything from their cyber and physical security controls, to their policies and operational practices. If you have a genuine curiosity and a desire to help make the world a safer place, this role is a great opportunity to continually build and apply your own security expertise as you identify gaps, suggest mitigations, track progress, and help AWS continue to inspire the best in ourselves and others with our leadership in supply chain security!
