Sr SDE, Healthcare AI

About the role

AWS Applied AI Solutions (AAIS) is building toward a future where every business innovates with Amazon AI teammates. To get there, we build AI solutions that improve human capabilities and transform entire business functions. We create end-to-end products that surprise and delight out-of-the-box, making complex things easy and hard things possible, with no cloud experience required. We start with customers who embrace the future and build bridges to meet the rest where they are. We pursue ambitious opportunities with conviction, and we are looking for builders who share that mindset.

Healthcare organizations need to store, understand, and act on patient data at scale, and they can't compromise on security. AWS Healthcare AI builds the services that make this possible. We own AWS HealthLake, a HIPAA-eligible service for storing, searching, and analyzing clinical data using the FHIR standard, and Amazon Comprehend Medical, which pulls medical information out of unstructured clinical text. We're now building new AI applications on top of both to help clinicians, payers, and researchers work faster.

We're hiring a senior engineer to lead across the org. You'll set technical direction for services that handle real patient data at large scale, in multiple regions. You'll take ambiguous customer problems and turn them into designs, own those designs through launch, and check that they hold up in production. The work ranges from high-throughput data storage and async pipelines to AI applications that reason over clinical records.

This is a leadership role as much as a build role. You'll raise the bar on how we design, test, roll out, and operate our services. You'll mentor engineers, review designs across teams, and work with product managers and partner teams to decide what we build next. You'll help shape how healthcare organizations use AI with their data, and your work will reach clinicians and patients.
