  • Build and maintain strong relationships with internal and external partners while offering technical consulting and analytical support.
  • Conduct independent analysis, drive initiatives, and support project deliverables in alignment with business objectives.
  • Develop backend solutions that are scalable, reusable, and supportable, and identify automation opportunities to increase operational efficiency.

  • Hands-on expertise with AWS services including Lambda, API Gateway, ECS, EC2, DynamoDB, and S3, and deep understanding of cloud-native architectures.
  • Proficiency with programming languages and frameworks such as JavaScript, TypeScript, AWS SDK, and data formats including JSON and XML.
  • Strong understanding of software development principles, backend design patterns, and microservices architecture.
  • Ability to evaluate trade-offs, balance competing priorities, and collaborate constructively across teams.
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.
