Machine Learning Engineer, Data Platform Engineering, WWPS U.S Federal Full-time

Are you excited to help the US Intelligence Community leverage the volume and variety of their data and enable Machine Learning in mission workflows? Do you have a knack for helping these groups understand the data architectures that support Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) and the consultative and leadership skills to launch a project on a trajectory to success? The Amazon Web Services (AWS) US Federal Professional Services team works directly with US Intelligence community agencies and other public sector entities to achieve their mission goals through the adoption of Machine Learning (ML) methods. We build data platforms that optimize all types of data for ML model training, scale inference, automate model improvement, and organize insights for analytics and reporting. Amazon has been investing in Machine Learning for decades, and by joining AWS you will join a community of scientists and engineers developing leading edge solutions for enterprise-scale data science applications.

In this customer facing position, you will architect and implement innovative AWS cloud-native ML solutions that achieve customer business outcomes. You will take the lead in inspecting, investigating, and understanding customer data sources. You’ll design and run experiments, and research new algorithms. You’ll work closely with talented data scientists and engineers to create data flows to and from models, and build data platforms that infuse ML into diverse missions.

This position may required local travel up to 25%

It is expected to work from one of the above locations (or customer sites) at least 1+ days in a week. This is not a remote position. You are expected to be in the office or with customers as needed.
