Software Development Engineer, AWS Payments

Machine learning, big data; real-time data streaming. If these areas resonate with you, then join us to work on extremely motivating challenges at Amazon Web Services (AWS). Within AWS Payments we build and run Machine Learning models to optimize business processes and improve the customer experience.

If you are a strong software engineer, self-starter and learner who is passionate about working with massive amounts of data to build state-of-art systems on top of AWS native services, then this is the right opportunity for you. You will work with a team of highly skilled engineers and scientists to build the next generation Machine Learning, Data, and Analytics platform at AWS. As part of your job, you will deal with large amounts of training data, rapid prototyping of new models, performance optimizations, offline and online testing, and building fully automated solutions to push Machine Learning models to production, applying MLOps best practices.

As a software development engineer of this team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the definition, vision, design, roadmap and development of this set of product features from beginning to end. You will:

  1. Mentor and lead junior developers on the team.
  2. Help drive business decisions with your technical input.
  3. Design, implement, test, deploy and maintain innovative software solutions, while optimizing service performance, durability, cost, and security.
  4. Use software engineering best practices to ensure a high standard of quality for all of the team deliverables.
  5. Participate in the full development cycle for ETL: design, implementation, validation, documentation, and maintenance.
  6. Design, implement, and support data warehouse / data lake infrastructure using AWS big data stack, Python, Redshift, Glue/lake formation, EMR/Spark/Scala, Athena etc.
  7. Write high quality distributed and scalable systems, to deal with large scale data.
  8. Automate the end-to-end development life-cycle to deploy Machine Learning models from research phase to production.
  9. Work in an agile, startup-like development environment, where you are always working on the most important stuff.
  10. Work closely with scientists, data engineers and other stakeholders to create and deploy new features, in order to optimize various business processes.


In this role you will contribute to a critical and highly-visible function within the AWS business. You will be given the opportunity to autonomously deliver the technical direction of new projects and features in our roadmap. If you’re excited to have a large impact on AWS and the cloud computing industry, you’ll find this role to be engaging, challenging, and full of opportunities to learn and grow.

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Machine Learning Skills in 2025/26

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the most in-demand career paths in technology. From predicting customer behaviour in retail to detecting fraud in banking and enabling medical breakthroughs in healthcare, ML is transforming industries across the UK and beyond. But here’s the truth: employers don’t just want candidates who have read about machine learning in textbooks. They want evidence that you can actually build, train, and deploy models. That means practising with real tools, working with real datasets, and solving real problems. The good news is that you don’t need to pay for expensive software or courses to get started. A wide range of free, open-source tools and platforms allow you to learn machine learning skills hands-on. Whether you’re a beginner or preparing for advanced roles, you can practise everything from simple linear regression to deploying deep learning models — at no cost. In this guide, we’ll explore the best free tools and platforms to practise machine learning skills in 2025, and how to use them effectively to build a portfolio that UK employers will notice.

Top 10 Skills in Machine Learning According to LinkedIn & Indeed Job Postings

Machine learning (ML) is at the forefront of innovation, powering systems in finance, healthcare, retail, logistics, and beyond in the UK. As organisations leverage ML for predictive analytics, automation, and intelligent systems, demand for skilled practitioners continues to grow. So, which skills are most in demand?

The Future of Machine Learning Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the most powerful forces reshaping the modern world. From voice assistants and recommendation engines to fraud detection and medical imaging, it underpins countless applications. ML is no longer confined to research labs—it powers business models, public services, and consumer technologies across the globe. In the UK, demand for machine learning professionals has risen dramatically. Organisations in finance, retail, healthcare, and defence are embedding ML into their operations. Start-ups in Cambridge, London, and Edinburgh are pioneering innovations, while government-backed initiatives aim to position the UK as a global AI leader. Salaries for ML engineers and researchers are among the highest in the tech sector. Yet despite its current importance, machine learning is only at the beginning of its journey. Advances in generative AI, quantum computing, robotics, and ethical governance will reshape the profession. Many of the most vital machine learning jobs of the next two decades don’t exist today. This article explores why new careers will emerge, the roles likely to appear, how today’s roles will evolve, why the UK is well positioned, and how professionals can prepare now.
