AWS Engineer

Senior Engineer role in AI/ML Computational Science focused on designing, building, and integrating scalable scientific AI, simulation intelligence, computational modelling, optimisation, and ML-enabled engineering solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS). You are expected to lead a technical workstream, guide implementation choices, mentor engineers, contribute to solution design, and support delivery leadership within a larger program. The role converts computational science and engineering problems into practical AI/ML components, scientific data pipelines, model workflows, and reusable cloud-native patterns that support scalable client outcomes.
Responsibilities:
Lead the design and build of AI/ML computational science components that support scientific data ingestion, simulation result processing, feature engineering, model development, deployment, and monitoring.
Translate scientific, engineering, and business problems into practical ML, optimisation, surrogate modelling, simulation analytics, and data engineering solution patterns.
Develop production-quality Python, SQL, API, workflow orchestration, and cloud-native components that integrate with broader enterprise platforms.
Work with technical architects, data scientists, domain experts, cloud engineers, product owners, and delivery leads to ensure solution components integrate cleanly with the wider system architecture.
Guide junior engineers on implementation practices, code quality, testing, documentation, reproducibility, observability, and delivery readiness.
Contribute to design reviews, technical decision logs, implementation plans, estimation inputs, sprint delivery, and risk mitigation activities.
Build reusable assets such as data pipeline templates, model workflow patterns, notebooks, APIs, deployment scripts, validation utilities, and implementation playbooks.
Support client discussions by explaining technical options, trade-offs, implementation constraints, and evidence for recommended AI/ML computational science approaches.
Stay current with scientific AI, generative AI, agentic workflows, MLOps, digital twins, optimisation, and cloud-native computational engineering patterns, and share learnings with the team.

Minimum 3 years of experience with Python and scientific/ML frameworks such as NumPy, SciPy, pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, XGBoost, or similar libraries.
Minimum 2 years of experience with MLOps or production ML practices including experiment tracking, model registry, CI/CD, testing, monitoring, and lifecycle governance.
Minimum 2 years of experience with scalable data pipelines, distributed compute, batch/stream processing, APIs, workflow orchestration, and containerised deployment patterns.
Minimum 2 years of experience leading a technical workstream, mentoring engineers, or guiding implementation within a larger program.
Strong hands-on knowledge of AI/ML computational science workflows, scientific data processing, numerical modelling, optimisation, simulation analytics, feature engineering, and model deployment patterns.
Strong Python, SQL, Git, testing, documentation, API, container, and workflow orchestration skills for robust, reusable, maintainable engineering delivery.
Practical experience with ML approaches relevant to computational science, including surrogate modelling, physics-informed ML, optimisation, time series, anomaly detection, computer vision, NLP, generative AI, and uncertainty-aware modelling.
Working knowledge of MLOps, model governance, responsible AI, security, data privacy, observability, performance monitoring, and production support practices.
Ability to partner with domain experts and convert scientific concepts, equations, simulation outputs, experimental data, and engineering constraints into buildable AI/ML solution components.
Strong collaboration skills with ability to work across engineering, research, product, client, and delivery teams across multiple time zones.
Industry experience applying AWS-enabled AI/ML computational science solutions in domains such as life sciences, healthcare, energy, utilities, manufacturing, chemicals, materials, aerospace, automotive, financial services, or public sector research.
2+ years of hands-on AWS experience across AI/ML development, scientific data pipelines, scalable compute, data engineering, and secure cloud integration.
Experience with AWS services such as SageMaker, Bedrock, Batch, EKS, ECS, Lambda, Step Functions, Glue, EMR, S3 FSx/Lustre, OpenSearch, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch, and containerised deployment patterns.
