Description

Architect and deliver cloud-native microservices on AWS, owning the design, implementation, and troubleshooting of containerized workloads and backend APIs.

This role is on-site.

Responsibilities

• Architect and deliver REST-based microservices using containerized workloads on Amazon EKS, selecting appropriate AWS compute services for each use case.
• Develop backend NodeJS REST APIs using Fastify/NextJS, focusing on performance, reliability, and security.
• Build and maintain Kubernetes deployments, services, ingress rules, autoscaling, and workload security configurations.
• Design secure API exposure using API Gateway, Application Load Balancer, and related AWS-native integration services.
• Implement secure access to AWS services through IAM roles, IRSA, VPC endpoints, and private networking patterns.

Required Skills

• 10+ years in application development or cloud architecture with strong focus on cloud-native microservices.
• Extensive hands-on experience with Amazon ECS, EKS, and Kubernetes (deployments, services, ingress, autoscaling, RBAC, networking).
• Strong expertise in NodeJS for building RESTful services using NestJS framework.
• Experience using databases and caching services such as Amazon RDS/Aurora/DynamoDB and ElastiCache.
• Solid background in Docker containerization and runtime optimization.
• Strong understanding of AWS compute, networking, storage, and integration services relevant to microservices.
• Experience implementing secure authentication and authorization using Cognito, JWTs, IAM, or similar frameworks.
• Proficiency in AI-native development environments and integrated coding assistants, specifically Kiro, Cursor, and VSCode.
• Proven troubleshooting skills across application, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure layers.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with modern front-end frameworks such as React.
• Familiarity with event-driven architectures, asynchronous messaging, or service mesh patterns.
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation).
