  • Strong software engineering background, preferably with hands-on development experience
  • Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery
  • A pragmatic, collaborative approach with excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills
  • A platform-engineering mindset, with deep understanding of trade-offs and designing for failure
  • Strong, hands-on AWS experience, including: Lambda, DynamoDB, AWS SAM
  • Solid networking and security knowledge, including VPCs, security groups and VPNs
Technologies You’ll Work With
  • AWS Cloud Services & AWS Developer Tools
  • JavaScript / TypeScript & Node.js
