Senior Machine Learning Engineer – AWS SageMaker

Cloudworkz is seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with strong hands‑on experience in Amazon SageMaker, tabular machine learning and model explainability. You will build and validate classification models for an enterprise order‑tolerance management solution, helping business users understand recommendations for resolving order‑tolerance issues. You will work closely with cloud and application engineers to deliver reproducible machine‑learning workflows and clear, usable prediction outputs.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Prepare, clean and validate model input data stored in Amazon S3.
• Develop tabular classification models using XGBoost and/or LightGBM.
• Implement robust model validation, probability calibration and SHAP explainability.
• Build workflows using SageMaker Processing, Training, Pipelines, Model Registry, Batch Transform and Clarify.
• Integrate Amazon Bedrock to turn model recommendations into plain‑language explanations for business users.
• Collaborate with the application engineer on prediction outputs and application integration.
• Produce reproducible code and documentation using the agreed infrastructure and CI/CD tooling.
• Apply lightweight, practical MLOps appropriate to a non‑production solution build.
• Document evaluation and calibration results, model versions, explainability outputs and integration guidance.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

• Proven personal ownership of tabular ML delivery on Amazon SageMaker, supported by concrete project examples.
• Strong Python skills and practical experience preparing and validating data on Amazon S3.
• Hands‑on XGBoost and/or LightGBM modelling experience.
• Practical experience with model validation, probability calibration and explainability, including SHAP.
• Hands‑on use of SageMaker Processing, Training, Pipelines, Model Registry, Batch Transform and Clarify, including batch inference and model registration.
• The ability to explain your own implementation responsibilities, dataset and model scale, and measured outcomes clearly.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills when working with application engineers and business stakeholders.

TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENT
