Qualifications:

• 8+ years of experience in software development and solution architecture, with at least 4+ years in AWS-focused architecture roles.
• Strong proficiency in AWS services (EC2, Lambda, API Gateway, S3, RDS/DynamoDB, ECS/EKS, CloudFormation/Terraform, IAM).
• Hands-on experience designing and developing frontends with Angular (latest versions).
• Strong backend development skills with Python and related frameworks such as FastAPI.
• Proven experience architecting end-to-end cloud-solutions.
• Solid knowledge of DevOps practices, CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code.
• Excellent understanding of microservices, REST, and event-driven architectures.
• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.

Nice to Have:

• Experience in highly regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, financial services, government).
• Knowledge of compliance frameworks such as HIPAA, PCI, NIST, or FedRAMP.
• Familiarity with DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-application design.
• Prior consulting experience with a top-tier cloud services provider or systems integrator. AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional or equivalent.
• Experience with machine learning integration in AWS (SageMaker, Glue, Athena, EMR).
• Experience in enterprise-scale application modernization and migration projects.
• Familiarity with additional frontend frameworks (React, Vue) and backend tools (Node.js).

Our Culture:

At Capstone, the central principles that we all adhere to, and the glue that holds us together, are our keystones. Our four keystones are:

• A Customer Obsessed, Delivery Focused, Culture.
• We're driven to exceed our customers' expectations by listening, leading, solving problems, and delivering what we promise.
• We aim to be the most dependable and trusted partner serving our customers. TRUST = CONSISTENCY x TIME.
• A Culture of Learning and Sharing.
• We value Lifetime Learners; those who are hungry, competitive, curious, and self-motivated in their pursuit of knowledge.
• Personal and professional growth depends on teamwork and continuous learning. By sharing knowledge, skills, ideas, and effort, we benefit our customers, ourselves, and our communities.
• We recognize that the thoughts, feelings, and backgrounds of others are as important as our own. Everyone has something to learn and everyone has something they can teach.
• Knowledge and ability are valued. Sharing knowledge and helping others learn new capabilities is valued exponentially.
• A Culture of Growth and Scalability.
• Growth comes from not establishing barriers in your role. Cross-functional skill sets are valued and help us deliver to our customers in a truly agile fashion. It comes with understanding that when asked to do something new, you will need support, have questions, and make some mistakes along the way.
• The most elegant solution is a simple solution. Simple doesn't mean easy. It's often more difficult to break a complex problem down into simple, scalable terms. We don't appreciate, or value, over-architected solutions or superfluous coding.
• Time is one of our most precious commodities. Scalability implies being respectful of this and passionate about making the most efficient use of each and every one of our team members' time.
• All Work is Strategic.
• No matter how small a project or assignment appears, every single engagement is an opportunity for us to prove ourselves, build trust, and develop relationships that last and grow.
• Every task, interaction, and commitment matters.
• Big or small, we execute our plans and strategies with focus, commitment, and passion.
