• Build robust, secure, and high‑performance cloud‑native solutions, leveraging front‑end (Angular, Type Script) and back‑end (Node.js, Java, RESTful APIs) technologies.
• Lead the design and integration of Generative AI workflows using Amazon Bedrock, RAG pipelines, and knowledge‑base‑driven context engineering.
• Develop and maintain internal frameworks, reusable modules, and developer platforms to enhance developer experience, maintainability, and cloud efficiency.
• Implement multi‑tier architectures and RESTful microservices, integrating with upstream and downstream systems.
• Manage databases with Amazon RDS (MySQL/PostgreSQL), DynamoDB, and Aurora, including both SQL and No
  
  SQL modeling.
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines and apply Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using Terraform and Cloud Formation.
• Employ testing frameworks and backend testing tools to ensure code quality and reliability.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with product, design, and data science teams to bridge business goals with scalable cloud solutions.
• Champion accessibility‑first design and inclusive engineering practices across products and internal tooling.
• Mentor engineers and influence architectural direction aligned with organizational growth and sustainability objectives.
• Implement logging, monitoring, and distributed tracing using AWS and third‑party tools (e.g., Cloud Watch, X‑Ray, ELK stack).
• Optimize application performance and ensure high availability through AWS scaling and caching mechanisms (Elastic Load Balancer, Cloud Front).

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering, cloud architecture, or full‑stack application development.
• Deep hands‑on experience with AWS (Bedrock, Lambda, Step Functions, Redshift, Glue, ECS/EKS, IAM, S3, API Gateway, RDS, Cloud Formation, EC2, Fargate, Cloud Watch).
• Proficiency in Python, Java, Type Script/Node.js, or similar languages for serverless and full‑stack development.
• Strong grasp of context engineering, prompt orchestration, and LLM application design.
• Proven success leading cross‑functional engineering teams and innovating at the intersection of technology and business.
• Commitment to accessibility and inclusive design principles.
• Experience integrating agent‑based architectures and retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) on AWS.
• Understanding of application‑level security, compliance, and cost optimization best practices in the cloud.
• Experience with internal developer platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and observability frameworks.
• Prior contributions to AI/ML product teams or open‑source cloud frameworks.
• Skilled in serverless and containerized application design and deployment using AWS SAM, Docker, and ECS.
• Experience in implementing secure authentication and authorization using AWS Cognito, OAuth
  2.0, and JWT.
• Strong proficiency in database management with Amazon RDS, DynamoDB, and Aurora, including SQL and No
  
  SQL modeling.
• Good working knowledge of testing frameworks and backend testing tools like JUnit.
• Strong exposure to Agile and Waterfall methodologies, with a focus on continuous delivery and iterative development.
