Job description

The Amazon Web Services Professional Services (ProServe) team is seeking a Delivery Consultant specializing in Data to join our AWS Industries practice. You will be at the center of the most consequential shift in enterprise technology: making organizations truly AI-ready. Every agentic AI system, every foundation model grounded in enterprise knowledge, and every GenAI application that moves from prototype to production depends on the data layer beneath it - and that's what you build.

You will design and implement modern data platforms (lake, lakehouse, mesh), architect data pipelines that transform raw, fragmented data estates into governed, AI-ready assets; and design and implement enterprise RAG architectures, vector stores, semantic ontologies, and knowledge graph architectures that allow foundation models and AI agents to reason accurately, access data securely, and execute autonomously. You will work hands-on inside customer environments with complex data lineage, legacy systems, and build production-grade data solutions that serve multiple downstream consumers, from ML model training to agentic orchestration layers.

The AWS Professional Services organization is a global team of experts that help customers realize their desired business outcomes when using AWS services. We work together with customer teams and the AWS Partner Network (APN) to execute enterprise cloud computing and AI transformation initiatives.

This role requires approximately 50% co-location on site with customer, AWS and partner teams within the U.S.

Key job responsibilities

• Design and implement production-grade data pipelines, data lakes, lakehouses, and data mesh architectures within enterprise environments, integrating with legacy systems and existing data governance frameworks
• Build data products that serve multiple downstream applications and use cases - from AI/ML model training to agentic AI systems, ensuring data quality, lineage, and reliability at scale
• Operate with a high degree of autonomy within fast-moving delivery engagements, making judgment calls on data modeling, pipeline design, and architecture without waiting for perfect specifications or constant oversight
• Navigate complex data access, security, and privacy requirements unique to pharma and healthcare including GxP compliance constraints, HIPAA, and regulatory data governance frameworks
• Architect contextual knowledge layers, including ontologies and knowledge graphs leveraging AWS Context, Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, and custom ontology extensions to equip AI agents with the vocabulary and guardrails to reason accurately and execute autonomously within regulated environments
• Collaborate across organizational boundaries to secure data access, understand source system context, and resolve data quality challenges with teams across customer IT, business, and partner organizations
• Deliver iteratively when requirements are ambiguous, translating incomplete business needs into well-architected data solutions that can evolve as customer understanding matures
• Apply AI-DLC (AI-accelerated Development Life Cycle) methodologies to data delivery to redesign data workflows to become AI-native for accelerated scale and pace
