• Work with relational and NoSQL databases, including RDS, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, and RDS Proxy.
• Implement and maintain application and infrastructure observability using CloudWatch, Dynatrace, OpenTelemetry, logging, metrics, and distributed tracing.
• Develop reusable Infrastructure as Code modules, templates, and standardized deployment patterns to improve consistency and efficiency.
• Build and maintain AWS Systems Manager (SSM) Documents and automation workflows.
• Troubleshoot complex issues across application, infrastructure, networking, security, database, and deployment layers.
• Ensure cloud solutions align with established architecture, security, networking, and governance standards.
• Support AWS account provisioning and landing‑zone automation using AWS Control Tower and Organizations.
• Evaluate emerging AWS services and technologies to identify opportunities for innovation and continuous improvement.

What we're looking for.

• Strong hands‑on experience designing, building, and supporting solutions within AWS environments.
• Experience with AWS Lambda, ECS/Fargate, API Gateway, and other cloud‑native services.
• Strong Infrastructure as Code experience, particularly with Terraform, along with familiarity with AWS SAM and/or CloudFormation.
• Experience developing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, preferably using GitHub Actions.
• Programming or scripting experience with Python, Node.js, and/or Java.
• Experience developing, integrating, or supporting REST APIs, middleware, and cloud‑native applications.
• Understanding of AWS security concepts, including IAM, OAuth 2.0, secrets management, and secure application authentication.
• Experience working with relational and/or NoSQL databases, such as PostgreSQL, RDS, and DynamoDB.
• Knowledge of cloud observability practices, including logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and troubleshooting.
• Ability to troubleshoot issues across both application and AWS infrastructure layers.
• Strong problem‑solving, communication, and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical teams.

What will make you stand out.

• Java and Spring Boot development experience.
• Experience with Dynatrace, OpenTelemetry, and RDS Proxy.
• Familiarity with AWS Systems Manager (SSM) and SSM Documents.
• Experience with Docker, containerized workloads, and AWS networking.
