Experience Desired: 8 Years.

Key required skills

Were seeking a Senior AWS Engineer to lead the development of resilient event-driven cloud applications using modern serverless technologies. This is a critical hands-on engineering role with architectural influence-ideal for someone who thrives undistributed systems ultra-low RTO/RPO environments and production-scale AWS solutions.

As a Senior AWS Engineer youll architect and build multi-region low-latency applications that are designed for high availability minimal data loss and rapid recovery. Youll work heavily with AWS Lambda Step Functions and DynamoDB to construct loosely coupled fault-tolerant systems that handle critical workloads and real-time data flows.

Youll also apply your expertise in building cloud-native apps that meet aggressive RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO(Recovery Point Objective) goals often in environments where global consistency availability and durability are non-negotiable.

As a Senior AWS Engineer you will:

Design and implement highly resilient event-driven architectures using AWS Lambda and Step Functions
Build serverless applications with scalable APIs asynchronous workflows and fault-tolerant patterns
Leverage DynamoDB (including advanced partitioning strategies) to handle real-time data and state at scale
Work around current AWS limitations (e.g. DynamoDB Global Tables not yet GA) to build multi-region solutions with low RPOand high durability
Architect systems for low RTO/RPO disaster recovery leveraging cross-region failover strategies and automation
Implement observability and alerting using CloudWatch X-Ray and third-party monitoring tools
Automate infrastructure with IaC tools like AWS CDK Terraform or CloudFormation
Optimize cold-start performance event retries and workflow orchestration for high-throughput environments
Collaborate with product backend and platform teams to integrate infrastructure into CI/CD workflows
Contribute to cloud engineering best practices including secure defaults cost optimization and environment parity
Mentor fellow engineers on cloud architecture and resilience engineering patterns

Youll bring:

8 years of software engineering experience including 3 years building production systems on AWS
Deep hands-on experience with AWS Lambda Step Functions and DynamoDB
Expertise in designing low RTO/RPO systems multi-region architectures and fault-tolerant workflows
Familiarity with the current limitations around DynamoDB Global Tables and experience implementing workarounds
Experience building real-time or near real-time event-driven systems (e.g. using SQS SNS EventBridge Kafka (MSK))
Strong proficiency in scripting and backend languages such as Java Python or Go
Experience with infrastructure as code (IaC) using CDK Terraform or CloudFormation
Solid understanding of distributed system design idempotency retries and failure recovery
Strong communication and consulting skills with the ability to lead architecture discussions with stakeholders

Added Advantage:

Experience building for regulated industries or high-compliance environments (e.g. finance healthcare)
AWS Solution Architect Associate certification

Key Skills:

Lambda Step Functions DynamoDB AWS Cloud Formation
