Summary: This role involves designing, building, and supporting distributed, event-driven systems on AWS, primarily using C#/.NET and Python. The position requires leading the re-architecture of legacy applications into cloud-native microservices while ensuring performance, scalability, and security. Collaboration with cross-functional teams to deliver production features is essential, along with a focus on continuous improvement and engineering standards. The position is fully remote and offers a contract-to-hire opportunity.
Key Responsibilities:
- Designs, builds, and supports distributed, event-driven systems running on AWS using (and not limited to) Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, EC2, and OpenSearch.
- Develops primarily in C#/.NET and Python, delivering APIs, backend services, and high-velocity data processing components. PHP experience is a plus.
- Leads efforts to re-architect and refactor legacy applications into modular, cloud-native microservices following AWS and industry best practices.
- Collaborates with Product, QA, and other engineers to turn user stories into scalable, secure, and observable production features.
- Owns end-to-end performance, scalability, and reliability of services from design through deployment and monitoring.
- Integrates security-first development practices (IAM least privilege, encryption, secrets management, secure API design).
- Participates in design reviews, code reviews, and post-incident analysis to improve reliability and maintainability.
- Continuously evolves engineering standards, CI/CD pipelines.
Key Skills:
- 8+ years professional experience developing in C#/.NET and/or Python, with emphasis on backend systems and data processing.
- Strong AWS expertise, particularly in serverless and managed-service architectures (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, EventBridge, OpenSearch).
- Demonstrated experience designing and operating RESTful APIs and backend services at scale.
- Solid understanding of data modeling across SQL and NoSQL systems (SQL Server, DynamoDB, OpenSearch, S3).
- Advanced experience with OpenSearch/Elasticsearch strongly preferred - index design, aggregation, and query optimization.
- Familiarity with stream processing and messaging systems (SQS, SNS, Kinesis, Kafka).
- Experience with analytics, reporting, and data visualization frameworks is a plus.
- Knowledge of secure development, incident response, and compliance (SOC2, GDPR, privacy standards) preferred.
- Proven ability to ship, maintain, and support production services as part of a small, high-performing team.
- Strong focus on end-user impact, reliability, and continuous improvement.
