The role requires an active TS/SCI with CI Polygraph and a strong background in cloud-native development, CI/CD, and infrastructure automation using AWS.

• U.S. Citizenship and an active TS/SCI with CI Polygraph.
• Six (6) or more years of professional software engineering experience in cloud environments.
• Proficiency in at least one modern language: Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, or C#.
• Hands-on experience with AWS services including EC2, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, VPC, and IAM.
• Demonstrated experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines.
• Working knowledge of Docker and container-based deployment.
• Comfort in Linux environments with Bash scripting.
• Strong full-lifecycle ownership — from requirements through production support.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation and customer-facing delivery.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, test, and deploy scalable AWS-native applications and services.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for safe, frequent, auditable deployments.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation.
• Develop APIs, microservices, and event-driven components using AWS Lambda and API Gateway.
• Ensure production readiness, security, and performance before release.
• Containerize workloads with Docker and operate on ECS or EKS.
• Diagnose and resolve issues across development, integration, and production environments.
• Collaborate with AWS, customer architecture teams, and other vendors.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies, design reviews, and code reviews.
• Continuously optimize system performance, cost, and operations.
