Are you looking to work at the forefront of Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Would you be excited to apply AI algorithms to solve real world problems with significant impact? The Amazon Web Services Professional Services (ProServe) team is seeking a skilled Data Scientist to help customers implement AI/ML solutions and realize transformational business opportunities.
This is a team of scientists, engineers, and architects working step-by-step with customers to build bespoke solutions that harness the power of AI. The team helps customers imagine and scope the use cases that will create the greatest value for their businesses, select and train and fine-tune the right models, define paths to navigate technical or business challenges, develop scalable solutions and applications, and launch them in production. The team provides guidance and implements best practices for applying AI responsibly and cost efficiently.
You will work directly with customers and innovate in a fast-paced organization that contributes to game-changing projects and technologies. You will design and run experiments, research new algorithms, and find new ways of optimizing risk, profitability, and customer experience.
We're looking for Data Scientists capable of using AI/ML and other techniques to design, evangelize, and implement state-of-the-art solutions for never-before-solved problems.
Key job responsibilities
As an experienced Data Scientist, you will be responsible for:
Implementing end-to-end AI/ML and GenAI projects, from understanding business needs to data preparation, model development, solution deployment, and post-production monitoring
Collaborating with AI/ML scientists, engineers, and architects to research, design, develop, and evaluate AI algorithms and build ML systems and operations (MLOps) using AWS services to address real-world challenges
Interacting with customers directly to understand the business challenges, deliver briefing and deep dive sessions to customers and guide them on adoption patterns and paths to production
Creating and delivering best practice recommendations, tutorials, blog posts, publications, sample code, and presentations tailored to technical, business, and executive stakeholders
