22h • $146,000 - $244,800 • Onsite

About The Position

As a hands-on AWS Solutions Architect you will bridge the gap between high-level enterprise cloud strategy and elite software engineering. In a builder role. you will not just author architectural diagrams or deploy brief proofs-of-concept (POCs) but you will also write clean code, model distributed databases, and directly launch production-grade Minimum Viable Products (MVPs). You will actively leverage modern Generative AI and Large Language Model (LLM) developer tools to accelerate engineering, refactoring, and deployment velocity. You will have a proven track record of shipping actual products or production-scale software, moving far beyond mere exploratory POCs or localized sandboxes.

Requirements

• 10+ years in IT/software engineering, with at least 3-5 years focused directly on AWS cloud platforms.
• Execution: A proven track record of shipping actual products or production-scale software, moving far beyond mere exploratory POCs or localized sandboxes.
• Scripting & Coding Languages: Strong coding ability in Java, Python, Bash, or TypeScript.
• Demonstrated ability using GenAI assistants or LLM developer tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, or Claude) to accelerate code generation, rewrite legacy scripts, automate documentation, and debug infrastructure deployment failures.
• Hands-on engineering with Amazon ECS (Fargate/EC2) and Amazon EKS.
• Core networking and compute mastery: VPC, EC2, Lambda, and IAM.
• Relational: Deep expertise in PostgreSQL, Amazon RDS, or Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL performance tuning and connection pooling.
• NoSQL: Advanced data modeling using Amazon DynamoDB (single-table design, GSIs, DynamoDB Streams).
• Distributed SQL: Practical exposure or design utilizing Amazon Aurora DSQL for active-active, multi-region scalability.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent industry experience).

Nice To Haves

• Experience in fintech/payments domains.
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate or Professional is highly preferred.

Responsibilities

• MVP Software & Cloud Engineering: Move rapidly from whiteboard diagrams to writing production-ready code. Ship fully realized, high-availability MVPs directly into cloud environments.
• System Design & Governance: Architect secure, multi-account AWS environments.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Author and maintain production-grade deployment scripts using Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or AWS CDK.
• GenAI-Driven Development: Integrate GenAI assistant tools seamlessly into daily workflows to expedite Infrastructure as Code (IaC) creation, code generation, troubleshooting, and architectural optimization.
• CI/CD Automation: Build and manage continuous integration and deployment pipelines using tools like Jenkins.
• Security & IAM: Enforce least-privilege access, Service Control Policies (SCPs), and compliance frameworks across the enterprise.
• Modern Data Modeling & Strategy: Architect multi-region data layers matching the right database to the right workload. Build scalable transactional systems across relational, non-relational, and next-generation serverless distributed technologies.
• Optimization & Troubleshooting: Drive cloud cost optimization (FinOps) and perform deep technical troubleshooting during system outages.

Benefits

• Annual incentive opportunity which may be delivered as a mix of cash bonus and equity awards
