Cloud, DevOps & Delivery Excellence

• Leverage AWS cloud technologies to build scalable and cost-efficient solutions.
• Work in Agile/Hybrid environments, improving estimation accuracy, delivery predictability, and sprint planning in partnership with the Product Owner.
• Use CI/CD pipelines, DevOps tooling, and automation to improve quality and accelerate delivery.
• Evaluate emerging technologies (including basic AI developer tools) and recommend adoption strategies.

Team Leadership & Stakeholder Collaboration

• Partner with the Product Owner and business stakeholders to clarify requirements, align priorities, and define solution outcomes.
• Lead and mentor engineers, promoting a collaborative, high-performing team culture.
• Support talent development, coaching, and continuous improvement while championing diversity and inclusion.
• Operate as a trusted technical advisor to senior leaders and cross-functional partners.

What You Bring

• Strong proficiency in:
  • AWS cloud computing
  • Node.js
  • Microservices architecture
  • Technical and solution design
  • SDLC, TDD, QA/testing, troubleshooting
  • Systems and application integration
• Strong ability to manage ambiguity and solve complex technical problems creatively.
• Excellent communication, relationship-building, and analytical thinking.
• Experience balancing Agile development with structured release cycles.
• Knowledge of DevOps, CI/CD, cloud security, cost management, and monitoring tools (e.g., Dynatrace).

Nice to Have

• Basic understanding of AI tools/models for developer acceleration.
