• Proven ability to work independently while leading, mentoring, collaborating with, and supporting team members to solve complex technical problems across multiple concurrent projects.
• Proven ability to architect software products and solution prototypes, establish technical standards, validate solution strategies, and explain the tradeoffs of complex design alternatives to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience with microservices architecture, API design patterns, containerization using Docker or Kubernetes, serverless computing, and modern CI/CD practices for enterprise-scale applications.
• Familiarity with the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) and proven design patterns, such as Model-View-Controller, Circuit Breaker, and Event-Driven patterns, is required. Candidates must also be able to design and build cloud-based software products that align with AWS Well-Architected Framework principles.
• This hands-on cloud software architecture and engineering leadership role requires the ability to design, build, deploy, and architect custom AWS cloud applications while leading technical teams.
• Proven ability to design, build, test, and deploy software products and solutions on AWS, with demonstrated success in client-facing roles and stakeholder management.
• In-depth understanding of Agile and Scaled Agile practices, with extensive experience planning and implementing software products in agile environments while leading development teams.
