We are seeking a highly skilled Python Developer with hands-on experience in AWS and EKS to join a high-impact DevOps engineering group at Fannie Mae. This is a pure application development role not a Data Engineering or traditional DevOps role.

The focus will be on developing Python-based solutions to support CI/CD tooling and modernize infrastructure by migrating from EC2 to EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service). The ideal candidate is a seasoned Python developer with solid experience in containerization and a deep understanding of AWS services, particularly EKS.

Must-Have Skills:

  • Python Development: Strong object-oriented Python development skills to build and customize platform capabilities. (Not automation scripting)

  • AWS Services: Deep hands-on experience with core AWS services.

  • Containerization: Solid understanding of how containers work, troubleshooting, container images, etc.

  • EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service): Hands-on experience with EKS is mandatory this is a key requirement.

Nice to Have:

  • Familiarity with GitLab, Terraform, Jenkins (not mandatory)

  • Knowledge of Java/J2EE or other backend programming languages

  • Prior experience supporting CI/CD tooling at scale

Role Responsibilities:

  • Develop and enhance CI/CD platform functionality using Python.

  • Build Python-based enhancements to support CI/CD governance, security, and compliance.

  • Help lead the migration effort from EC2 to EKS for over 2000+ runners.

  • Collaborate with DevOps engineers to enable scalable and optimized pipelines, not to execute deployments.

Important Notes:

  • This is not a DevOps or SRE role it is a Python development role within a DevOps tooling environment.

  • Candidates with heavy data engineering or automation-only backgrounds will not be considered.

  • Strong emphasis on understanding containerized environments and developing tools/platforms, not using them as an end user.
