Our mission is to foster innovation while supporting the professional growth of our team members.

The Role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with deep expertise in AWS serverless technologies and distributed systems. In this role, you will architect, build, and maintain highly scalable infrastructure using a range of AWS services. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to create solutions that align with both business needs and technical best practices.

  • Architect and manage infrastructure as code using AWS CloudFormation and AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK).
  • Optimize distributed systems for performance, scalability, and resilience, applying architectural patterns like caching, load balancing, and event-driven design.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to solve large-scale business challenges, proposing technical solutions and strategies.
  • Monitor and maintain AWS infrastructure, ensuring high availability and disaster recovery capabilities.
  • Participate in code reviews, testing (unit, integration, and end-to-end), and security assessments.
  • Contribute to the development of technical documentation, including architecture diagrams and infrastructure specifications.

Qualifications

  • Strong experience in AWS cloud technologies, specifically with serverless services (Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, etc.).
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems, including concepts like idempotency, eventual consistency, and message delivery semantics.
  • Proficiency in AWS infrastructure as code tools such as CloudFormation and AWS CDK.
  • Advanced knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript and familiarity with Node.js.
  • Solid experience in DevOps practices such as CI/CD, monitoring, and automation.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to estimate, model, and solve large-scale technical challenges.
  • AWS Solutions Architect or DevOps Engineer certifications (Associate or Professional level preferred).
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with security best practices, including AWS IAM, authentication, authorization, and OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.
