Senior AWS Cloud Engineer – Serverless, Technical Ownership

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Mexico.

📋 Description

• Design and implement serverless solutions utilizing AWS, primarily through Lambda, API Gateway, and event-driven services.

• Assume responsibility for technical decisions, encompassing architecture, scalability, performance, and cost considerations.

• Enhance existing systems by extending and refining services based on genuine business requirements.

• Convert functional specifications into well-organized technical solutions rather than mere code execution.

• Develop and sustain backend logic using Python, including integrations, data processing, and service orchestration.

• Implement and uphold event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, SNS, EventBridge).

• Guarantee effective error handling, observability, and system reliability in distributed environments.

• Collaborate with backend, DevOps, and business teams to deliver resilient solutions.

• Participate in technical discussions and architectural decision-making, even for existing systems.

• Adhere to and refine existing patterns and best practices, avoiding unnecessary reinvention.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 5 years of experience in backend or cloud engineering positions.

• - S3

• Familiarity with event-driven systems, with a solid understanding of asynchronous flows and distributed processing.

• Experience in contributing to or shaping architecture decisions, particularly in serverless or cloud-native environments.

• Strong grasp of microservices architecture, including its appropriate use compared to serverless or monolithic approaches.

• Experience managing real-world production challenges such as:

• - Timeouts and long-running processes

• - Data processing at scale

• - Service-to-service communication

• Ability to conceptualize designs, not just execute tasks.

• Understanding of architectural trade-offs (cost, scalability, performance).

• Experience in enhancing existing systems rather than solely developing new ones.

• Practical knowledge of IAM and security best practices (e.g., applying least privilege in real scenarios).

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, including understanding deployment workflows and making necessary adjustments.
