Job Description

We are seeking a hands-on Technical Architect to lead the design and implementation of cloud-native applications, distributed systems, and machine learning infrastructure within AWS. This individual will play a key role in defining technical architecture, guiding development teams, and delivering scalable solutions that support AI/ML-driven business capabilities.

The ideal candidate combines deep AWS expertise, software engineering experience, and significant hands-on experience with Amazon SageMaker and production machine learning deployments. Experience supporting NLP, embeddings, and AI-powered applications is highly desirable.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable, secure, and highly available solutions within AWS.
• Architect machine learning-enabled applications leveraging Amazon SageMaker for model deployment, inference, endpoint management, and integration with downstream services.
• Define architecture patterns and best practices for distributed, event-driven applications.
• Lead the technical design and implementation of cloud-native services utilizing:
  • AWS Lambda
  • SNS/SQS
  • EventBridge
  • DynamoDB
  • Amazon SageMaker Endpoints
  • Amazon Bedrock
• Collaborate closely with software engineers, data scientists, and product teams to operationalize machine learning solutions and AI-driven workflows.
• Contribute hands-on development using Python for application services, automation, machine learning integrations, and SageMaker-based processing solutions.
• Ensure machine learning workloads are scalable, reliable, secure, and cost-effective.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, cloud engineering, technical architecture, or a related discipline.
• Strong experience designing and implementing AWS-based solutions in production environments.
• Hands-on experience with Amazon SageMaker, including model deployment, endpoint management, inference workflows, and integration with enterprise applications.
• Experience supporting production machine learning workloads within AWS environments.
• Hands-on expertise with AWS services including:
  • Lambda
  • SNS/SQS
  • EventBridge
  • DynamoDB
  • SageMaker
• Experience building and supporting highly scalable distributed systems.
• Strong understanding of asynchronous processing and event-driven architectures.
• Hands-on experience with:
  • Terraform
  • Python
  • GitHub Actions
  • CI/CD automation
• Ability to balance architectural design responsibilities with hands-on technical implementation.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience deploying and managing NLP, embedding, and generative AI solutions using Amazon SageMaker.
• Understanding of embedding models, vectorization techniques, semantic search, and retrieval-based AI architectures.
• Experience implementing OCR and document-processing workflows utilizing machine learning services.
• Experience integrating SageMaker-hosted models into production applications and distributed architectures.
• Familiarity with MLOps concepts, model lifecycle management, monitoring, and AI application deployment best practices.
• Experience implementing AI/ML solutions using Amazon Bedrock or similar generative AI platforms.
• Familiarity with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures and vector databases.
