• Follow best practices, write high-quality code, and employ modern cloud architectures while writing new applications or modernizing existing applications.
• Develop, test, and deploy modular accelerator code, where applicable, to streamline project implementation and enhance client value.
• 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.

• 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.
• Familiarity with prompt engineering using generative AI (Bedrock).
• 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).
