General Function

We are hiring a Senior AI AWS Engineer who has actually built AI and ML applications in cloud environments, not merely studied them. The role centers on hands-on development of retrieval-augmented generation systems, fine-tuning LLMs, and AWS-native microservices that drive automation, insight, and governance in an enterprise setting. You will design and deliver scalable, secure services that bring large language models into real operational use by connecting them to live infrastructure data, internal documentation, and system telemetry. You will join a high-impact team advancing cloud-native AI in a real-world enterprise environment.

This is a builder role within our Public Cloud AWS Engineering team. It is not focused on buzzwords or theory, but on architecting, developing, and supporting production AI/ML services with real data and users. If you have hands-on experience delivering tangible AI solutions in production, this is the right opportunity.
