• Integrate security, networking, and observability features into each component as specified by solution designs.
• Participate in code reviews and incorporate feedback for continuous improvement.
• Apply flexible application logic and feature enhancements to base patterns from open‑source or internal repositories.
• Rapidly learn and apply new patterns and technologies to meet evolving solution requirements.

• 3+ years’ experience working with AWS services, including compute, storage, networking, and security.
• Deep experience developing serverless applications using Node.js based Lambdas.
• Deep experience with the AWS SDK for JavaScript.

• Experience with infrastructure as code using AWS CDK (TypeScript).
• Experience with source code management tools, preferably GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket.
• Hands‑on experience with writing applications for multiple AWS compute environments, including server based (EC2), containers (ECS, EKS), and serverless (Lambda).
• Understanding of observability tools and implementing monitoring solutions in AWS environments.
• Strong knowledge of IAM integration and application security requirements in cloud environments.
• Experience with cloud native application architectures, including containers, microservices, service discovery, communication patterns, and security.
• A basic understanding of the AWS services that support modern cloud native applications, such as API gateways, SQS, SNS, DynamoDB, and RDS.
• Ability to quickly learn new technologies and apply them to real‑world problems.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills for working with architects and other technical team members.
• Associate level AWS certification (Developer certification preferred).

Desired Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 4+ years of experience in cloud development or solution delivery.
• Professional level AWS certification (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or specialty).

• Demonstrated ability to author Kubernetes manifests and Helm charts.
• Experience implementing automation in production environments using Chef, Puppet, Salt, Ansible, or cloud‑native tools.
