- Work extensively with AWS services (application-level usage: S3, Kinesis, EC2, Fargate, IoT) to support enterprise-scale operations
- Own features end-to-end, from customer feedback through design, implementation, and production deployment
- Operate as a self-directed individual contributor in a fast-moving, low-bureaucracy environment

- Experience in government contracting, subcontracting, or similar regulated environments (strongly preferred)
- Familiarity with compliance-heavy systems and workflows
