About this role
Role overview
Design and build cloud-native applications on AWS as a hands-on contributor working toward broader architectural ownership. Embedded in cross-functional delivery teams, you’ll help turn product requirements into services, APIs, event flows, and deployments that are secure, resilient, and maintainable in production. The role combines application engineering with architecture decisions and practical delivery work.
Responsibilities
- Help define service boundaries, API contracts, and data flows for cloud applications. - Build and deploy microservices and serverless functions using containerized or managed compute. - Implement event-driven integrations and asynchronous messaging between services. - Contribute to infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipelines that support repeatable, safe deployments. - Apply observability, scalability, security, and resilience practices, balancing cost and performance. - Integrate AI services, including language model inference and retrieval workflows, where they fit the application needs. - Work with engineering, data, AI, and product partners; document designs and APIs and participate in reviews.
Requirements
- Experience building and delivering cloud-native applications, ideally on AWS. - Ability to contribute hands-on code while reasoning about service architecture and production operation. - Familiarity with APIs, microservices, serverless or container-based systems, and event-driven design. - Understanding of infrastructure as code, CI/CD, observability, application security, and reliability practices. - Clear communication skills for explaining design choices and collaborating across disciplines.
Nice to have
- Experience integrating AI or LLM services, including retrieval-augmented generation or inference workflows. - Familiarity with modern AI-assisted development tools.
