Lambert Labs is looking for an AWS Cloud Engineer to join its team.
We're an AWS Advanced Tier Services partner that helps customers across a wide range of industries migrate to AWS, modernize their AWS infrastructure and innovate on AWS (with data and AI). Our services are in demand – we have worked with 100+ AWS customers and work very closely with the AWS team locally and globally - they continue to refer more and more of their customers to us if and when the customer requires AWS consulting expertise.
The role
In the role you will work on a variety of projects, including, but not limited to:
* Modernizing AWS infrastructure by decoupling monolithic EC2-centric AWS infrastructure by making use of containers and AWS managed services.
* Building AI applications using AWS’ suite of AI services including Amazon Bedrock.
* Using multimodal LLMs to build applications that supercharge existing businesses with AI.
* Building data processing pipelines on AWS.
* Writing Terraform or CloudFormation to template AWS infrastructure.
* Conducting AWS Well-Architected Reviews of customers’ AWS infrastructure, writing feedback reports and remediating High-Risk Issues.
* Migrating Linux and/or Windows workloads from either on-premises or other cloud providers to AWS.
* Refactoring multi-tenanted customer applications deployed in a single AWS account into an AWS Organization made up of multiple AWS accounts.
Customer engagements are typically less than 4 weeks in duration, but we do have customers who we complete longer engagements with and for some customers we complete multiple engagements each year. Typically, engagements include one or two consultants from the Lambert Labs side working with the customer.
Because we are so deeply immersed in the AWS Partner Program there are also a number of tasks that are focused on this area. These include:
* Training for AWS certifications from the AWS Certification pathway. We expect our AWS Consultants to study for and maintain the AWS Certified Solutions Architect Professional and AWS Certified DevOps Engineer certifications as a minimum; several of our AWS Consultants have many more certifications. If you don’t yet have these certifications, we will give you time and training to obtain them.
* Writing funding applications for AWS Proof of Concepts, the AWS Well-Architected Partner Program, the AWS Migration Acceleration Program or other AWS funding programs.
* Applying for AWS Competencies and AWS Service Delivery validations on behalf of Lambert Labs. As things stand, Lambert Labs has the Generative AI, SMB, DevOps and Nonprofit Consulting Competencies, along with 6 different AWS service-specific Service Delivery validations.
* Engaging with AWS Solutions Architects and AWS Account Managers aligned with our customer accounts.
* Attending events. Our AWS Consultants attend AWS Experience events and also sometimes attend when we are exhibiting at industry events (in 2026 we are exhibiting at Big Data and AI London, DTX London, DTX Manchester, AWS Summit London, AWS Cloud Day Dublin and DIGIT Edinburgh).
* Speaking at industry events.
* Writing customer case studies or technical articles for our website or other platforms.
