About The Position

AWS Data & AI Engineer, Senior The Opportunity: AI solutions only succeed when they are built on reliable data platforms and production-ready ML workflows. As an AWS Data and AI Engineer, you’ll enable intelligent, scalable systems by engineering the data pipelines and machine learning foundations that move models from experimentation to mission-ready deployment. In this role, you’ll focus on designing, building, and operationalizing machine learning solutions on AWS, with a strong emphasis on Amazon SageMaker. You’ll work alongside solution architects, data scientists, and application teams to deliver secure, scalable ML pipelines—supporting everything from data ingestion and feature engineering to model training, deployment, and monitoring in compliance-driven federal environments. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys hands-on development, building ML platforms, and growing into a senior AI or ML engineering role within AWS-centric ecosystems. Work with us and help build the future of AI-enabled systems in the Federal Government. Join us. The world can’t wait.
