How to apply
1. Submit resume and answer the following questions.
Secure WorkSpaces
1. Have you personally deployed Amazon WorkSpaces in a production environment? Describe your role.
2. How many Amazon WorkSpaces users were included in your largest deployment?
3. Which virtual desktop platforms have you personally implemented?
4. How would you prevent data from being transferred from WorkSpaces to a local computer?
5. Have you worked in healthcare, HIPAA, financial services, or another regulated environment?
6. What is your hourly rate and immediate availability?
7. Based on this description, approximately how many hours would you estimate for the implementation?
