Required Skills

• Strong AWS expertise with proven hands-on experience in architecting cloud-native applications.
• Solid programming foundation in one or more major languages: Java (Spring Boot), .NET Core (C#), or Python (Flask/FastAPI).
• Experience with serverless computing (Lambda, Step Functions), containerization (ECS, EKS, Docker), and managed databases (RDS, DynamoDB, Aurora).
• Familiarity with API design, microservices, and asynchronous messaging patterns (SQS, SNS, Kafka).
• Working knowledge of data pipelines, ETL, or analytics services (Glue, Athena, Redshift) is a plus.
• Exposure to DevOps pipelines, infrastructure as code, and CI/CD orchestration.
• Understanding of security and compliance frameworks (HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR) is desirable.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 8-12 years of professional experience, with at least 4+ years in AWS cloud architecture and prior development experience in Java, .NET, or Python.
