Senior Software Engineer – AWS Developer

• Lead the design, development, testing, and operation of cloud-native software systems that are reliable, scalable, secure, and cost-effective
• Own end-to-end architecture for services and features on AWS, making informed tradeoffs between serverless, containers, data stores, and integration patterns
• Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, designers, and architects to translate complex requirements into clear technical designs and implementation plans
• Set the bar for code quality, testing, and engineering practices
• write clean, maintainable, well-tested code and help others do the same
• Conduct and drive code and design reviews, provide constructive feedback, and foster a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement
• Investigate and resolve complex production issues, performance bottlenecks, and reliability problems across multiple services and components
• Shape and evolve our CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, and observability (logging, metrics, tracing, alerting) to improve developer productivity and system resilience
• Mentor and coach associate and mid-level engineers, supporting their growth through pairing, feedback, and knowledge sharing
• Contribute to and influence technical roadmaps, standards, and best practices for our AWS usage and overall system architecture

• 5+ years of professional software development experience
• Significant hands-on work in AWS-based production systems
• Strong proficiency in Python with deep understanding of object-oriented design, clean code principles, and design patterns
• Expertise with AWS services, especially serverless and cloud-native architectures, including several of: Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, SQS/SNS, EventBridge, CloudWatch, CloudFront, RDS/Aurora, and IAM
• Solid experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK) and multi-environment deployments
• Strong grasp of RESTful API design, authentication/authorization mechanisms (OAuth2, JWT), and microservices / event-driven architectures
• Practical experience designing and optimizing data models for both NoSQL (e.g., DynamoDB, MongoDB) and relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL)
• Experience with DevOps practices: CI/CD (e.g., GitHub Actions, CodePipeline), Git workflows, Docker, and monitoring/observability tools (e.g., CloudWatch, Datadog)
• Deep understanding of software testing strategies (unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end testing) and how to embed them into pipelines (e.g., Cypress or similar)
• Strong communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and a track record of influencing technical direction, aligning stakeholders, and mentoring other engineers
• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience building and operating production systems

Familiarity with JavaScript/TypeScript and modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React, Angular)
