AWS Developer

We have a new opening with one of our top clients for a Senior AWS Software Engineer , and we're looking for strong candidates with modern AWS development experience and excellent communication skills.


What We're Looking For


This is a senior-level engineering position, so the hiring leader is looking for someone with strong software engineering fundamentals who can take ownership, collaborate effectively across multiple teams, and help drive technical initiatives forward. Candidates should be comfortable speaking up in meetings, asking thoughtful questions, and working independently without needing constant direction.


Required Technical Skills

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong AWS development experience
• TypeScript development
• Building and maintaining RESTful APIs
• AWS Lambda
• API Gateway
• API integrations
• AWS CDK (Infrastructure as Code)
• GitHub
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills

Preferred Experience

• Event-Driven Architecture
• DynamoDB
• EventBridge
• SQS
• Route 53
• DevOps experience
• GitHub Actions pipelines
• Solution Architecture background
• AWS Solution Architect Certification
• Experience mentoring other engineers

AI Experience is Important


One area the hiring leader emphasized is AI adoption. The team is actively integrating AI into their engineering practices and currently leverages GitHub Copilot and Claude Code . They're looking for candidates who are already using AI-assisted development tools as part of their day-to-day workflow-not simply engineers who have general knowledge of AI.


Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain RESTful APIs using TypeScript and AWS services
• Build scalable event-driven cloud solutions
• Develop Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK
• Implement secure, highly available cloud architectures
• Collaborate with internal teams and external vendors
• Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, and technical planning
• Troubleshoot complex production issues and optimize system performance
• Create technical documentation and mentor other engineers on AWS best practices

What Will Make Someone Stand Out

• Strong AWS engineering experience with modern serverless architectures
• Deep experience building REST APIs using AWS Lambda
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Solution architecture experience
• AWS certifications (especially Solution Architect)
• Engineers who actively use AI tools such as GitHub Copilot or Claude Code in their daily development work
