Job Title Cloud Developer Job Description

The Cloud Full‑Stack Developer (with primary focus on AWS) is responsible for the end‑to‑end design, build, and delivery of secure, cloud‑hosted applications supporting PL Re strategic platforms, including the Underwriting & Modelling Environment (UMe). This role combines hands‑on cloud/full‑stack development with strong technical ownership, ensuring solutions align with Pacific Life / PL Re enterprise architecture standards, security controls and operational support requirements.

Initial focus will be to support the continued design, build and operation of cloud‑based platforms underpinning Global Experience Analysis (Global EA), including secure AWS infrastructure, data processing pipelines and environment automation.

• Solution Design & Development:
  Lead the design and development of full‑stack applications, spanning front‑end, back‑end, and AWS‑native services. Build and maintain applications using multiple languages and frameworks (e.g., Python, .NET, APIs, approved SDLC and web frameworks). Design secure and scalable integrations with AWS services such as S3, Redshift, Sage Maker, EC2, IAM, and VPC.
• Cloud, Security & Governance:
  Ensure applications meet security, risk, and data protection requirements, including SSO/MFA, encryption, segregation of duties, and access controls. Work closely with Enterprise Architecture and Information Security to ensure solutions comply with enterprise standards and governance controls. Review designs and implementations against architectural principles, security baselines, and regulatory expectations.
• Dev Sec Ops  & Non‑Functional Requirements:
  Implement Dev Sec Ops  practices, including CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, vulnerability scanning, and controlled deployment. Ensure solutions meet non‑functional requirements such as availability, resilience, performance, scalability, and disaster recovery.
• Delivery & Operational Readiness:
  Produce and maintain technical, solution, and architecture documentation to support governance reviews, audits, and operational handover. Support service transition into BAU, ensuring applications are observable, monitored, documented, and supportable by run teams. Contribute to engineering best practice within delivery teams, helping to set high standards for secure, maintainable and supportable cloud development.
