This position requires that the candidate selected must currently possess and maintain an active TS/SCI Security Clearance with Polygraph. The position further requires the candidate to opt into a commensurate clearance for each government agency for which they perform AWS work.

Key job responsibilities

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you are proficient in developing and deploying advanced ML models to solve diverse challenges and opportunities. You will be working alongside scientists to develop novel models to solve real-world problems. You'll design and run experiments, research new algorithms, and find new ways of optimizing risk, profitability, and customer experience. You will apply classical ML algorithms and cutting-edge deep learning (DL) approaches to areas within the natural language processing and understanding spaces including GenAI, document processing and understanding, call center analytics, and chat experiences.

The primary responsibilities of this role are to:

• Interact with customer directly to understand their business problems, and help them with defining and implementing scalable ML/DL solutions to solve them

• Work closely with account teams, research scientist teams, and product engineering teams to drive model implementations and new algorithms
