Senior AWS Engineer With Hands on CDK EXP

Dallas, Texas, United States (On-site)

 

We’re 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 in distributed systems, ultra-low RTO/RPO environments, and production-scale AWS solutions.

 

Responsibilities

 

·         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 RPO and 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

 

Qualifications

 

 

·         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, Node.js, 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

· Bonus: Experience building for regulated industries or high-compliance environments (e.g., finance, healthcare)

·         Bonus: AWS Solution Architect Associate certification

 

Required Skills

 

·         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

· Strong proficiency in scripting and backend languages such as Java, Python, Node.js, or Go

 

Preferred Skills

 

·         Experience building for regulated industries or high-compliance environments (e.g., finance, healthcare)
