• Develop functional, responsive, and accessible front-end interfaces using HTML5, CSS/SCSS, TypeScript, Angular/React, and modern UI component libraries (e.g., Kendo UI, Infragistics).
• Ensure security best practices in application architecture, including IAM policies, encryption, API security, and compliance with industry standards (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2).
• Champion cloud-native principles and serverless architectures using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, and other AWS managed services.
• Work with AWS data services, including Redshift, RDS, Aurora, and S3, for building scalable data-driven applications.
• Lead proof-of-concept initiatives to evaluate emerging AWS services and architectural approaches.
• Mentor and guide development teams in architecture decisions, code quality, and performance optimization.
• Support UI automation testing alongside development activities to ensure high-quality deliverables.
• Collaborate with QA and DevOps teams for automated testing, monitoring, and application observability using tools like CloudWatch, X-Ray, and Open Telemetry.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field; Master’s preferred.
• 8+ years of progressive experience in software engineering, with 2+ years in an AWS cloud-native architect role.
• Proven experience designing and implementing AWS-native SaaS products and complex full-stack applications.
• Strong expertise in .NET Core, C#, ASP.NET Core, and modern JavaScript frameworks (Angular, React, TypeScript).
• Experience with serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway) and microservices deployed on ECS/EKS.
• Proficiency with SQL and database programming for both RDBMS (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL) and AWS data solutions (Redshift, Aurora, DynamoDB).
• Experience designing secure, multi-tenant SaaS architectures.
• Solid understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies and experience working in cross-functional product teams.
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as AWS CloudFormation, Terraform, or CDK.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, AWS Code Pipeline, or similar tools.
• Experience implementing application monitoring and observability.
