Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Python AWS Developer to join our engineering team and contribute to the development, deployment, and maintenance of scalable, cloud-native solutions. This role demands a high level of technical acumen in serverless architecture, microservices, containerization, and DevOps practices. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to translate requirements into robust, production-ready infrastructure and application code on AWS.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, write clean, modular Python, and can architect solutions that balance scalability and cost-efficiency, we want to talk.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain serverless and containerized applications on AWS using Python.

  • Develop infrastructure-as-code (IaC) using CloudFormation, Terraform, or AWS CDK.

  • Build APIs and microservices leveraging AWS Lambda, API Gateway, ECS/EKS, and Step Functions.

  • Integrate and automate CI/CD pipelines (CodePipeline, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.).

  • Ensure observability, reliability, and cost-efficiency of deployed services (CloudWatch, X-Ray, CloudTrail).

  • Collaborate with DevOps, QA, and Security to ensure solutions are production-ready and compliant.

  • Lead technical design reviews and provide mentoring on AWS best practices and Python code quality.

  • Support performance tuning, monitoring, and alerting for cloud workloads.

  • Participate in sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, and estimation processes.

Required Qualifications

  • 3 6 years of professional Python development experience in production environments.

  • Strong AWS proficiency with hands-on experience in Lambda, ECS/EKS, DynamoDB, S3, CloudFormation/Terraform, and IAM.

  • Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs.

  • Proficient in asynchronous programming and event-driven architectures (e.g., SNS, SQS, EventBridge).

  • Experience with Git, CI/CD workflows, and containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes a plus).

  • Familiarity with testing frameworks like Pytest or UnitTest.

  • Working knowledge of relational and non-relational databases (e.g., RDS, Aurora, DynamoDB).

  • Comfortable navigating Linux/Unix environments and scripting.

Preferred Qualifications

  • AWS Certified Developer Associate or Solutions Architect Associate.

  • Experience with data processing workflows (e.g., AWS Glue, Athena, Step Functions).

  • Familiarity with security and compliance standards (SOC2, HIPAA, etc.).

  • Experience with cost-optimization strategies and tagging standards in AWS.

  • Exposure to multi-account AWS strategies using Control Tower or AWS Organizations.
