The Role

As a Cloud Developer, you will create and maintain the cloud infrastructure for Typescript and Python-based web APIs. Solutions are cloud-platform agnostic, so you should be proficient in AWS, GCP, or Azure and willing to work across all clouds. You will deploy commercial-grade APIs using Python Docker images, Typescript serverless functions, and various cloud resources such as Kubernetes, storage buckets, pipelines, and state stores. All infrastructure and deployment are fully automated using Terraform.

What you'll be doing

• Develop complex cloud-native serverless applications
• Write and maintain serverless functions in Typescript and Python
• Utilise serverless technology for API management, event-driven architecture, serverless databases, and document stores
• Implement integration patterns from modern SaaS APIs using GraphQL to traditional FTP-based integrations
• Apply DevOps principles to empower teams to manage infrastructure directly using Git
• Use Terraform for provisioning and managing cloud resources
• Leverage design patterns and reference architectures to design scalable and efficient infrastructure
• Maintain a test-driven, quality-first mindset
• Communicate effectively with strong written and verbal skills
• Document infrastructure architecture using Diagrams-as-Code
• Design solutions observing cross-cutting concerns such as observability and system security
• Take ownership of deployments in a true devops model

What we want from you

• Strong experience in creating and deploying cloud infrastructure using Azure, AWS, or GCP
• Understanding of Python and Docker for developing web APIs
• Familiarity with serverless technologies covering functions, queues, file storage, API management, and key-value stores
• Experience with integration patterns and working with various APIs
• Knowledge of DevOps principles and Git, preferably with experience in modern techniques such as monorepos
• Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code languages such as Terraform and CloudFormation
• Understanding of design patterns for building scalable and efficient systems
• A quality-driven, test-first mindset
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Familiarity with Diagrams-as-Code for documenting infrastructure architecture is a plus
• Understanding of modern authentication protocols such as OAuth2 and OIDC
• Consideration of cross-cutting concerns like observability and security in infrastructure design
• Contributions to Open Source projects are a plus
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience)

What we can offer you

• Opportunity to work at the forefront of AI technology
• A chance to contribute to groundbreaking commerce AI solutions
