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.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
- 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
- Experience programming with at least one software programming language

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- 3+ years of full software development life cycle, including coding standards, code reviews, source control management, build processes, testing, and operations experience
- Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent
- Experience building and optimizing ‘big data’ pipelines, architectures and data sets
- Experience using big data technologies (Hive, Hbase, Spark, EMR, etc.)
- Advanced working SQL knowledge and experience working with relational databases

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
