What We're Looking For

  • Deep hands-on experience designing, operating, and evolving production infrastructure on AWS, with a strong focus on serverless architectures
  • Extensive experience across AWS services including Lambda, API Gateway, Aurora Serverless, DynamoDB, OpenSearch Serverless, S3, SNS, SQS, ECS, CloudFront, WAF, Route 53, SES, Secrets Manager, AppConfig, and CloudWatch
  • Professional-level Terraform experience, including reusable multi-environment module design and major provider-version upgrades
  • Strong GitLab CI/CD experience, including pipeline templates, protected environments, approval gates, and OIDC-based authentication with AWS
  • Hands-on experience deploying serverless applications using AWS SAM
  • Strong cloud security engineering skills, including secrets rotation, IAM least-privilege design, secret scanning, and dependency and container vulnerability scanning within CI/CD pipelines
  • Strong observability experience using CloudWatch metrics, alarms, dashboards, logging, and production monitoring strategies
  • Experience owning production incident response and participating in or leading on-call operations
  • Experience implementing SOC 2 controls from an engineering perspective, including evidence collection, traceability, access controls, and auditable infrastructure practices
  • Experience designing resilient AWS environments, including multi-region and disaster recovery strategies, is highly valued
  • Strong understanding of cost optimization for serverless and consumption-based AWS services
  • Experience operating Amazon MWAA is valued
  • Experience migrating applications from Serverless Framework to AWS SAM or CDK is valued
  • Experience improving and hardening CI/CD environments, including introducing effective quality gates, blocking tests, secure deployment controls, and safer production release processes
  • Strong Infrastructure as Code mindset, with infrastructure changes designed and managed through code rather than manual console configuration
  • Strong ownership of the complete delivery lifecycle, treating infrastructure, security, CI/CD, observability, and production reliability as interconnected engineering responsibilities

  • Professional English communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with engineering and client stakeholders

Own the reliability, security, and delivery foundation of an AWS serverless platform across infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and production operations. Lead hands-on improvements to the platform while strengthening automation, security controls, resilience, and engineering practices across both maintenance and delivery.
