Senior AI/ML Architect – Amazon Web Services – Canada

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is seeking a Senior AI/ML Architect to join its Public Sector Professional Services team in Canada. This is a senior-level consulting role where you’ll work directly with Canadian government and public sector clients to design, build, and deploy machine learning and Generative AI (GenAI) solutions that solve real-world operational and business challenges. If you’ve spent years building ML systems and want to apply that expertise at scale across the public sector, this role puts you at the forefront of cloud-based AI innovation.

Day to day, you’ll be partnering with clients to understand their unique challenges, translating those into concrete technical architectures, and delivering production-ready solutions using AWS AI/ML services such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, and Amazon AgentCore. You’ll collaborate cross-functionally with ML Engineers, Cloud Architects, and Application Developers, guiding projects from exploratory data analysis all the way through to deployment and client training.

About the Role: Senior AI/ML Architect

As a Senior AI/ML Consultant within AWS Professional Services, your primary focus is understanding client business problems, structuring those problems as formal requirements, and designing ML and GenAI solutions that address them using the right AWS services and algorithms. You’ll work across the full project lifecycle — from initial discovery and data analysis through to solution validation and production deployment — making sure the solutions you deliver are not just technically sound but genuinely impactful for public sector clients across Canada.

This role also carries a mentorship and knowledge-sharing dimension. You’ll be working alongside teammates from across AWS, contributing to a culture of continuous learning and technical excellence. Candidates for positions based in Quebec must be fluent in both French and English, given the global and cross-provincial scope of the role.

Benefits and Salary

AWS is known for offering a comprehensive benefits package that includes flexible work arrangements and a strong emphasis on work-life balance. Employees have access to extensive mentorship and career development resources, employee-led affinity groups, and ongoing learning experiences. Amazon fosters an inclusive team culture and invests heavily in the professional growth of its people. Specific salary details were not listed in this posting.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll be the technical lead bridging business needs and AI/ML solutions for Canadian public sector clients. Your responsibilities span client engagement, solution architecture, hands-on development, and team collaboration — all oriented toward delivering production-ready ML and GenAI systems that make a measurable difference.

• Understand and structure client business challenges and translate them into formal business and technical requirements
• Identify and select the most appropriate AI/ML services, algorithms, and AWS tools to address client needs
• Design and validate end-to-end ML and GenAI solution architectures integrating relevant AWS services
• Support clients throughout the full ML/GenAI project lifecycle — from exploratory data analysis and solution design through to deployment and training
• Collaborate with ML Engineers, Cloud Architects, and Application Developers to bring solutions to production readiness
• Leverage AWS tools including Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon AgentCore, Git, Docker, PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers, and Strands-Agents
• Provide technical sales support and consultative guidance to stakeholders ranging from technical teams to executive decision-makers

Requirements / Skills

AWS is looking for someone with deep machine learning and GenAI expertise who is equally comfortable engaging with C-suite stakeholders and writing production-grade code. The ideal candidate brings both technical rigour and strong business acumen, and is motivated to work on meaningful projects within the Canadian public sector.

• 5+ years of experience as a Data Scientist or ML Engineer with proven experience building ML models and GenAI systems
• AWS or cloud technology experience is required for this role
• Canadian federal security clearance eligibility is required — valid Secret or Top Secret clearance is an asset
• French and English bilingualism is required for the Quebec-based position
• MLOps experience including bringing models to production and managing data science development environments is strongly preferred
• Experience consulting with clients on AI and GenAI needs, including engaging with both user departments and technical teams
• Knowledge of data governance principles, data consumption, visualization, and reporting practices is an asset
• Strong analytical skills including the ability to design experimental and analytic plans and accurately determine cause-and-effect relationships
