Job description

AWS Software Engineer | TypeScript, Serverless & AWS CDK | Fully Remote

Permanent role + Market Led Package

Want to build the tools that make other engineers better?

This isn't just another AWS development role. It's an opportunity to shape the way engineering teams build, deploy and scale cloud applications, creating the shared platforms, tooling and services that make a real difference across an entire technology function.

I'm working with a technology-led business looking for an AWS Software Engineer to join its Integrations team, working at the heart of a serverless-first cloud environment.

You'll combine hands-on engineering with technical influence, helping teams raise the bar on coding standards, governance and developer experience.

What will you be working on?

• Building and maintaining custom SDKs, CDKs, authentication services and CLIs to improve developer productivity.
• Developing scalable, serverless-first applications and shared platforms across AWS.
• Creating and maintaining internal web applications using React or Vue.
• Working with engineering teams across the business to understand their challenges and deliver tailored cloud solutions.
• Championing engineering best practices, well-structured code and consistent development standards.
• Enhancing CI/CD pipelines to support reliable, repeatable software delivery.

The technical environment

This is an AWS-first, serverless-oriented environment, with technologies including:

• Languages & IaC: TypeScript, AWS CDK, AWS SDK
• Compute: Lambda, ECS, Fargate
• APIs & integration: API Gateway, AppSync, EventBridge, Step Functions
• Data & storage: DynamoDB, S3, RDS
• Security & networking: IAM, Cognito, VPC, CloudFront, Route 53
• Delivery: CI/CD, Git and GitLab
• Architecture: Event-driven systems and microservices

Experience across every service isn't essential, but you'll need strong TypeScript skills, hands-on AWS CDK and SDK experience, and a solid understanding of building robust, maintainable cloud solutions.

React/Vue, SQL, DynamoDB single-table design and authentication services would all be useful additions.

Who would suit this role?

Someone who enjoys solving engineering problems beyond their own codebase.

You’ll be comfortable collaborating across teams, sharing knowledge, mentoring other developers and influencing how software is built, rather than simply picking up tickets and delivering to a specification.

If you enjoy building reusable tools, improving developer experience and working with modern AWS technologies, this could be a particularly interesting next move.
