Description:

We are hiring a Sr AI AWS Engineer who has actually built AI/ML applications in cloud—not just read about them. This role centers on hands-on development of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, fine-tuning LLMs, and AWS-native microservices that drive automation, insight, and governance in an enterprise environment. You’ll design and deliver scalable, secure services that bring large language models into real operational use—connecting them to live infrastructure data, internal documentation, and system telemetry.

You’ll be part of a high-impact team pushing the boundaries of cloud-native AI in a real-world enterprise setting. This is not a prompt-engineering sandbox or a resume keyword trap. If you’ve merely dabbled in BedRock, mentioned RAG on LinkedIn, or read about vector search—this isn’t the right fit. We’re looking for candidates who have architected, developed, and supported AI/ML services in production environments.

This is a builder’s role within our Public Cloud AWS Engineering team. We aren’t hiring buzzword lists or conference attendees. If you’ve built something you’re proud of—especially if it involved real infrastructure, real data, and real users—we’d love to talk. If you’re still learning, that’s great too—but this isn’t an entry-level role or a theory-only position.

_Due to client requirements, applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance._

_Rate: $65 - $75 / hr. w2_

+ Develop cloud-native microservices, APIs, and serverless functions to support intelligent automation and real-time data processing.

+ Collaborate with internal stakeholders to understand business goals and translate them into secure, scalable AI systems.

+ Own the software release lifecycle, including CI/CD pipelines, GitHub-based SDLC, and infrastructure as code (Terraform).

+ Support the development and evolution of reusable platform components for AI/ML operations.

+ Create and maintain technical documentation for the team to reference and share with our internal customers.

+ Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
