Sr. Security Consultant - GenAI, AWS GenAI Innovation and Delivery

Are you ready to build the future of secure artificial intelligence — not just design it, but actually construct it? The AWS AWS GenAI Innovation and Delivery Center stands at the forefront of the AI revolution, where we're not just advising on technology — we're in the trenches, writing code, architecting systems, and co-building 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 won't just advise on that foundation — you'll build it, hands-on, alongside the engineers and partners who are making GenAI real for customers.

We're seeking a Senior GenAI Security Consultant to embed directly with our Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) teams, serving as the hands-on security builder who ensures every line of code, every architecture decision, and every customer delivery meets AWS's security bar. This isn't a strategy role — it's a builder role. You'll be in the code, in the architecture, and in the room where it happens, co-creating secure GenAI solutions at the bleeding edge of what's possible.

Why This Role Matters

In the GenAI Innovation Center, our Forward Deployed Engineers are on the front lines of customer delivery — building, prototyping, and shipping GenAI solutions at speed. Security excellence at this layer can't be bolted on after the fact. It has to be built in from the start, by someone who can work at the same technical depth as the engineers they're partnering with.

You'll be:
- Embedding directly within FDE engagements as the hands-on security builder, co-developing secure GenAI solutions alongside internal engineers and external partners
- Holding and enforcing the AWS security bar at the implementation level, ensuring customer deliveries meet the highest standards of security by design
- Partnering with internal builders and third-party partners to architect and implement security controls that are production-ready, not just conceptually sound
- Translating complex security requirements into working code, reusable components, and deployable accelerators that teams can build on
- Serving as the technical security authority within engagements, making real-time architectural decisions that protect customer trust without slowing delivery

The Innovation Opportunity

This role puts you at the absolute tip of the spear of AWS GenAI delivery. You'll have the unique opportunity to:
- Build security capabilities deployed immediately in production environments for some of the world's most demanding customers
- Collaborate with AWS's most talented Forward Deployed Engineers, shaping how security is implemented at the intersection of speed and rigor
- Develop reusable security patterns, reference architectures, and accelerators that scale your impact far beyond individual engagements
- Influence how AWS and its partners approach secure GenAI delivery from the ground up

If you're energized by building things that no one has built before, if you're as comfortable in an IDE as you are in an architecture review, and if you want to be the person who ensures that the most exciting GenAI deployments in the world are also the most secure, this role is for you. Join us in building the future of secure AI innovation at AWS.
