• Use DynamoDB for highthroughput use cases requiring fast, lowlatency access.
• Integrate S3 for object storage and collaborate on data pipelines using Glue and DMS where applicable.

• Design resilient asynchronous systems using SNS/SQS, ensuring idempotent processing, retry strategies, and operational safety.

• Deploy and operate services on AWS ECS and AWS Lambda behind API Gateway or ALB, using Terraform for IaC and Docker for containerization.
• Build observable systems leveraging CloudWatch for logs, metrics, and alarms.
• Participate in oncall rotations and incident response, ensuring quick resolution and strong rootcause discipline.
• Follow strong security practices using CloudTrail, GuardDuty, and SecurityHub.

• Drive automated testing across pytest, vitest, and TestCafe for backend, UI, and endtoend coverage.
• Maintain healthy CI pipelines using GitHub Actions and Buildkite, ensuring dependency hygiene with Dependabot.

• Work closely with Product and Design on technical discovery, iterative delivery, and prioritisation.
• Conduct design reviews, contribute to architectural decisions, and provide constructive feedback through code reviews.
• Mentor engineers through pairing, knowledgesharing, and coaching on best practices.
• Maintain documentation and engineering context in Confluence and JIRA.

Qualifications

• 10 years of experience delivering productiongrade software systems.
• Strong proficiency in Python (FastAPI, Pydantic) and/or TypeScript (React, Koa).
• Handson experience with AWS cloud services, including ECS, Lambda, API Gateway, ALB, and Terraform.
• Solid understanding of relational and NoSQL databases, particularly Aurora PostgreSQL and DynamoDB.
