Description

  • Design and implement highly resilient, event-driven architectures using AWS Lambda and Step Functions
  • Build serverless applications with scalable APIs, asynchronous workflows, and fault-tolerant patterns
  • Leverage DynamoDB (including advanced partitioning strategies) to handle real-time data and state at scale
  • Work around current AWS limitations (e.g., DynamoDB Global Tables not yet GA) to build multi-region solutions with low RPOand high durability
  • Architect systems for low RTO/RPO disaster recovery, leveraging cross-region failover strategies and automation
  • Implement observability and alerting using CloudWatch, X-Ray, and third-party monitoring tools
  • Automate infrastructure with IaC tools like AWS CDK, Terraform, or CloudFormation
  • Optimize cold-start performance, event retries, and workflow orchestration for high-throughput environments
  • Collaborate with product, backend, and platform teams to integrate infrastructure into CI/CD workflows
  • Contribute to cloud engineering best practices, including secure defaults, cost optimization, and environment parity
  • Mentor fellow engineers on cloud architecture and resilience engineering patterns

 

You’ll bring:

  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years building production systems on AWS
  • Deep hands-on experience with AWS Lambda, Step Functions, and DynamoDB
  • Expertise in designing low RTO/RPO systems, multi-region architectures, and fault-tolerant workflows
  • Familiarity with the current limitations around DynamoDB Global Tables and experience implementing workarounds
  • Experience building real-time or near real-time event-driven systems (e.g., using SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Kafka (MSK))
  • Strong proficiency in scripting and backend languages such as Java, Python, Node.js, or Go
  • Experience with infrastructure as code (IaC) using CDK, Terraform, or CloudFormation
  • Solid understanding of distributed system design, idempotency, retries, and failure recovery
  • Strong communication and consulting skills with the ability to lead architecture discussions with stakeholders
