PETADATA is seeking a highly experienced Senior Cloud Developer with a strong foundation in software engineering and extensive hands-on experience with AWS Lambda using Python. This role is ideal for seasoned developers who have transitioned from traditional Java software development backgrounds into modern serverless cloud applications, with a keen interest in leveraging AI tools to accelerate productivity and code quality.

Note: This is a pure application development role. Candidates from DevOps, DevSecOps, SRE, or Linux Admin backgrounds will not be considered.

Do NOT submit infrastructure-focused profiles.

Roles & Responsibilities:

  • Lead the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) of cloud-native applications using AWS Lambda (Python).

  • Design, build, test, and deploy scalable serverless applications on AWS.

  • Apply deep knowledge of Python and previous experience in Java-based enterprise applications to develop robust business logic and backend systems.

  • Utilize AI development tools (such as Amazon Q, GitHub Copilot, or others) to streamline development tasks and improve code quality.

  • Integrate and manage messaging systems (ideally Kafka; other systems like SQS or RabbitMQ are acceptable).

  • Support and implement database migrations, especially to Amazon DynamoDB, including schema design and performance tuning.

  • Collaborate with product owners, architects, and other developers in an Agile environment.

  • Conduct code reviews and provide technical mentorship to junior team members.

Required Skills:

  • 15+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong base in Java and current expertise in Python.

  • 5+ years of recent hands-on experience in developing serverless applications using AWS Lambda in Python.

  • Proven ability to handle full SDLC, including design, development, testing, and deployment in cloud environments.

  • Practical experience using AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Amazon Q, GitHub Copilot, etc.).

  • Strong experience in cloud messaging systems (preferably Kafka).

  • Experience with NoSQL databases, especially DynamoDB, including experience in migrating data and applications to DynamoDB.

  • Familiarity with AWS services such as API Gateway, Step Functions, EventBridge, and S3.

  • Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and event-driven design.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • AWS Certifications (Developer Associate, Solutions Architect, etc.) are a plus.

  • Experience in Agile/Scrum environments.

  • Prior experience working in large-scale enterprise software environments.

Education:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

We offer a professional work environment and provide every opportunity for growth in the Information technology world.
