Location: Dallas, TX

Duration: 6 12 Months Contract

Overview:

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior AWS Developer & Database Administrator to take ownership of both application development and cloud-native database management within the AWS ecosystem. This hybrid role requires hands-on experience in developing serverless applications and administering cloud-based databases with a focus on scalability, performance, and automation.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and maintain serverless applications using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB.
  • Integrate AWS services (e.g., S3, SNS, SQS, EventBridge) into application workflows.
  • Build and manage CI/CD pipelines using tools like AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, or Jenkins.
  • Develop microservices and event-driven architectures using Python, Node.js, or Java.
  • Work with Kafka for real-time data streaming and Redis for low-latency caching.

Database Administration:

  • Manage and administer AWS-native databases such as Amazon RDS (PostgreSQL, MySQL), Aurora, and Redshift.
  • Monitor and tune database performance, including query optimization, indexing strategies, and connection pooling.
  • Implement automated backup, recovery, replication, and disaster recovery strategies.
  • Ensure data security, access control, and compliance using IAM, KMS, and encryption best practices.

Infrastructure & Automation:

  • Define infrastructure as code using Terraform or AWS CloudFormation for both application and database resources.
  • Automate operational tasks such as deployments, scaling, and configuration management.

Collaboration & Support:

  • Partner with DevOps, Data Engineering, and Application teams to ensure end-to-end solution integrity.
  • Troubleshoot complex issues across application, data, and infrastructure layers in production and non-production environments.

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience with AWS cloud services, including Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, Aurora, and Redshift.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, Java, or Node.js.
  • Proficiency in SQL, database administration, and query optimization.
  • Experience with Apache Kafka and Redis in AWS-hosted environments.
  • Practical knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and DevOps practices.
  • Strong understanding of cloud architecture, security, and cost optimization strategies.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • AWS Certifications: AWS Certified Developer Associate, AWS Certified Database Specialty, or equivalent.
  • Experience with multi-region, high-availability, and disaster recovery architectures.
  • Familiarity with data warehousing and analytical workloads on Amazon Redshift.
