The Opportunity

Strategic Business Systems (SBS) is expanding our AWS Professional Services team to support a high-priority, mission-critical national security program. We’ve already begun standing up core infrastructure and are now scaling the team to deliver additional capabilities in a fast-moving, high-visibility environment.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll work directly with AWS teams and customer stakeholders to design, build, and deploy secure, scalable solutions. The work supports critical national security objectives and spans AI-driven applications, foundational cloud infrastructure, and secure data movement across classification boundaries.

You’ll contribute to building AWS environments in classified regions, enabling agent-based AI workflows, and supporting cross-domain data pipelines that move data securely between networks.

If you enjoy building real systems, solving hard problems, and working on efforts that have direct impact, this is a strong fit.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design, build, and deploy cloud-native applications in AWS
• Develop agent-based AI workflows for federated data environments
• Build serverless architectures using AWS Lambda, Step Functions, and APIs
• Support the design and implementation of AWS Landing Zones in classified regions, including account structure, IAM, networking, and guardrails
• Implement secure data access patterns across distributed systems
• Design and integrate cross-domain (low-to-high) data pipelines into AWS environments
• Work with CDS/diode technologies to enable secure data transfer across classification boundaries
• Integrate data pipelines with AWS services (S3, OpenSearch, etc.) and enterprise systems
• Participate in architecture discussions and technical decision-making
• Evaluate and improve LLM-driven workflows in operational environments
