Are you excited to help the U.S. Intelligence Community design, build, and implement AI algorithms, including advanced Generative AI solutions, to augment decision making while meeting the highest standards for reliability, transparency, and scalability? The Amazon Web Services (AWS) U.S. Federal Professional Services team works directly with U.S. Intelligence Community agencies and other public sector entities to achieve their mission goals through the adoption of Machine Learning (ML) and Generative AI methods.

We build models for text, image, video, audio, and multi‑modal use cases, leveraging both traditional ML approaches and state‑of‑the‑art generative models such as Large Language Models (LLMs), text‑to‑image generation, and other advanced AI capabilities to fit the mission. Our team collaborates across the entire AWS organization to deliver solutions and drive feature innovation based on customer needs.

At AWS, we’re hiring experienced data scientists with a background in both traditional and generative AI who can help our customers understand the opportunities their data presents, and build solutions that earn the customer trust needed for deployment to production systems.

In this role, you will work closely with customers to deeply understand their data challenges and requirements, and design tailored solutions that best fit their use cases. You should have broad experience building models using all kinds of data sources, and building data‑intensive applications  should possess excellent business acumen and communication skills to collaborate effectively with stakeholders, develop key business questions, and translate requirements into actionable solutions.

You will provide guidance and support to other engineers, sharing industry best practices and driving innovation in the field of data science and AI.

This position requires a current TS/SCI Security Clearance and the candidate must opt into a commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.
