Senior AWS Cloud Native Developer

Job description

We are looking for a Senior AWS Cloud Native Developer to help build a paved-road platform from the ground up — one that lets every engineering team build in an AI-native way, with agents as first-class developers, automation and governance built in, and a fast, safe path from idea to production. This is a hands-on, close-to-the-code build role where the systems and patterns you create will serve as the foundation every engineering team works on top of.

Responsibilities

- Define and encode application-development patterns and quick starts that other engineering teams can rely on

- Build production APIs and services using Python and FastAPI

- Develop cloud-native applications and tooling on AWS, including developer tooling and delivery platforms

- Design and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform

- Drive engineering work with AI coding harnesses/agents, following spec-driven development practices

- Integrate AWS serverless and event-driven services such as Lambda, API Gateway, and Step Functions

- Automate CI/CD, SDLC, and engineering controls using GitHub Actions, IaC, and automated evidence capture

- Turn policy and regulatory requirements into automated governance, compliance, and operational controls within delivery pipelines

- Implement deterministic scripted checks and agentic applications for problems that require reasoning and judgment

- Apply strong engineering practices, including API design, automated testing, observability, documentation, and secure-by-default delivery

- Operate independently within a fast-moving program and contribute from early stages

Requirements

- 5+ years of application-development experience with the ability to define patterns and quick starts for other engineers

- Proficiency in Python and FastAPI for building production APIs and services

- Strong AWS application development and software engineering experience, ideally with developer tooling, delivery platforms, or cloud-native developer workflows

- Skills in Terraform for infrastructure as code

- Daily experience using AI coding harnesses/agents, with familiarity with spec-driven development

- Knowledge of AWS serverless and event-driven services such as Lambda, API Gateway, and Step Functions, and how to integrate them

- Experience automating CI/CD, SDLC, and engineering controls using GitHub Actions, IaC, and automated evidence capture

- Background in building automated governance, compliance, or operational controls into delivery pipelines, using both deterministic scripted checks and agentic applications

- Understanding of good engineering practice, including API design, automated testing, observability, documentation, and secure-by-default delivery

- Capability to operate independently in a fast-moving program and contribute from early on

- English proficiency at B2 level or higher

Nice to have

- Skills in TypeScript/React for web front ends and developer consoles

- Experience building internal developer platforms or "platform-as-a-product"

- Experience building agentic applications, or designing APIs/CLIs and reusable skills for both human and agent consumers
