Senior AWS Cloud Native Developer

We are looking for aSenior 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
