This role provides hands on engineering support across AWS based analytics environments, with a strong focus on AWS SageMaker and related Data Science tooling.
Your Future Duties and Responsibilities
The engineer will build automation, improve platform reliability and security, and drive modernization efforts across the AWS ecosystem. Working closely with platform engineers and cross functional technology partners, this person will deliver enhancements, resolve complex technical issues, strengthen engineering standards, and support ongoing migration and decommissioning efforts tied to legacy analytics systems. This is a great opportunity for a hands on cloud engineer who enjoys automating repetitive work, tightening up security posture, and modernizing enterprise scale ML infrastructure.

• Experience working with AWS SageMaker or a comparable enterprise ML/Data Science platform.
• Comfortable scripting and automating with Python, shell, or similar.
• Practical experience with Terraform and CI/CD pipelines.

• Background securing cloud environments (IAM, access controls, vulnerability remediation).
• Experience with monitoring/observability tools and performance tuning.
• Some exposure to cloud cost optimization or FinOps practices.
• Can build automation that cuts down manual, repetitive operational work.
• Comfortable writing clear documentation and collaborating across teams (security, DevOps, app teams, vendors).

• Domino Data Lab or similar enterprise ML platform experience.
• Python based Data Science/ML workload experience.
• GitLab pipeline experience.
• Experience with AWS cost management/FinOps.
• Background in platform migrations or system decommissioning.
