Machine Learning Engineer, Generative AI Innovation Center

Job ID: 3129513 | AWS EMEA SARL (UK Branch)


Amazon launched the Generative AI (GenAI) Innovation Center (GenAIIC) in Jun 2023 to help AWS customers accelerate enterprise innovation and success with Generative AI (https://press.aboutamazon.com/2023/6/aws-announces-generative-ai-innovation-center). Customers such as Highspot, Lonely Planet, Ryanair, and Twilio are engaging with the GAI Innovation Center to explore developing generative solutions.


GenAIIC provides opportunities to innovate in a fast‑paced organization that contributes to game‑changing projects and technologies that get deployed on devices and in the cloud.


As a Machine Learning Engineer in GenAIIC, you are proficient in developing and deploying advanced ML models and pipelines to solve diverse customer problems using Gen AI. You will be working alongside scientists with terabytes of text, images, and other types of data and develop Gen AI based solutions 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.


Key job responsibilities

Our ML Engineers collaborate across diverse teams, projects, and environments to have a firsthand impact on our global customer base. You’ll bring a passion for the intersection of software development with generative AI and machine learning. You’ll also:



  • Solve complex technical problems, often ones not solved before, at every layer of the stack.
  • Design, implement, test, deploy and maintain innovative ML solutions to transform service performance, durability, cost, and security.
  • Build high‑quality, highly available, always‑on products.
  • Research implementations that deliver the best possible experiences for customers.

A day in the life

As you design and code solutions to help our team drive efficiencies in ML architecture, you’ll create metrics, implement automation and other improvements, and resolve the root cause of software defects. You’ll also:



  • Build high‑impact ML solutions to deliver to our large customer base.
  • Participate in design discussions, code review, and communicate with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Work cross‑functionally to help drive business solutions with your technical input.
  • Work in a startup‑like development environment, where you’re always working on the most important stuff.

About the team

Diverse Experiences. AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all the qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying.

We value work‑life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud.


Basic Qualifications

  • Experience in professional, non‑internship software development
  • Experience leading the architecture and design (architecture, design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and current systems, or experience in development in the last 3 years
  • Experience building complex software systems that have been successfully delivered to customers, or experience in computer architecture
  • Experience as a mentor, tech lead or leading an engineering team
  • Experience with data scripting languages (e.g. SQL, Python, R etc.) or statistical/mathematical software (e.g. R, SAS, or Matlab)

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations
  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science or equivalent
