Job Description

Required Skills — Remote Services (90% Backend | 10% Frontend)

• AWS Step Functions (state machines, Express vs. Standard workflows, error handling/retries)
• Amazon EventBridge (event buses, rules, schema registry) and EventBridge Pipes (source-filter-enrich-target patterns)

Data & persistence

• Amazon DynamoDB (single-table design, GSIs/LSs, partition key design, streams, capacity modes)
• Amazon S3 (event notifications, lifecycle policies, versioning, storage classes)
• Idempotency and eventual consistency handling in distributed data flows
• Schema evolution and payload versioning for event contracts

Programming languages and scripting

• Java (Lambda development, Spring Cloud Function for serverless, build tooling with Maven/Gradle)
• Python for Lambda development and automation/tooling scripts
• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform
• Shell/Bash scripting for automation and tooling
• Microservices decomposition and bounded contexts
• Saga pattern for distributed transactions
• Resilience patterns (circuit breaker, retry with backoff, dead-letter handling, poison-pill management)

Security, IAM & compliance

• IAM (least-privilege policies, roles, resource-based policies, permission boundaries)
• Secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager, Parameter Store)
• Encryption at rest/in transit (KMS, S3 SSE, DynamoDB encryption)
• VPC networking basics for Lambda (ENIs, private subnets, endpoints)
• Auditing and logging (CloudTrail, AWS Config)

Tooling, observability & DevOps

• Version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions
• Observability: CloudWatch Logs/Metrics/Alarms, X-Ray distributed tracing, structured logging
• Grafana Cloud for dashboards and alerting; Kibana for log search and analysis
• Cost-awareness and performance tuning (Lambda memory/timeout sizing, DynamoDB capacity planning)

AI-assisted workflows in DevOps

• Using AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot) for code generation, review, and test authoring
• AI-assisted CI/CD: automated PR summaries, code review bots, and pipeline failure triage
• Prompt-driven infrastructure and Terraform scaffolding with guardrails for review
• AI-assisted observability: anomaly detection and log/alert summarization
• Understanding limitations and risks of AI-generated code (security review, hallucination checks, license compliance)

Full DevOps ownership & on-call responsibility

• You build it, you run it: end-to-end ownership of services from design through production operation
• Participation in on-call rotation, including incident response outside business hours
• Incident management: triage, mitigation, escalation paths, and root cause analysis
• Writing and maintaining runbooks/playbooks for known failure modes
• Blameless post-mortems and follow-up action tracking
• SLO/SLA awareness, alert tuning to reduce noise and avoid alert fatigue
• Accountability for the reliability, security, and cost of self-authored code in production
• Unit, integration, and contract testing for event-driven flows
• Data validation and schema enforcement (JSON Schema, EventBridge schema registry)
• Dead-letter queue monitoring and reprocessing strategies
• Change management and auditable deployment practices
• Structured problem solving, debugging distributed/asynchronous systems
