Hybrid - Tempe, AZ

If you're the kind of engineer who thinks in systems, not just stories this role is for you.

We're building and modernizing a fully AWS-native platform that powers mobile applications, customer-facing portals, enterprise integrations, and large-scale operational systems. This isn't maintenance work it's architectural evolution in a high-impact environment.

You'll design and scale distributed systems in a heavily serverless AWS stack, partner directly with business leaders, and help drive modernization initiatives across cloud and AI-integrated platforms.

This is a role for engineers who want ownership, influence, and technical depth.

What You'll Own

  • Architect and build scalable microservices in a fully AWS serverless environment

  • Design APIs that power mobile apps, web platforms, and enterprise integrations

  • Leverage Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, Glue, and related services at scale

  • Contribute to architectural modernization and re-platforming efforts

  • Lead code reviews and mentor engineers to raise technical standards

  • Partner directly with stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable solutions

  • Support CI/CD, reliability, and production readiness

What You Bring

  • Strong, hands-on AWS serverless expertise (Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, Glue required)

  • Experience designing distributed microservices and API-first architectures

  • Backend depth in Python or Node.js

  • Experience balancing scalability, cost, latency, and reliability trade-offs

  • SQL and NoSQL experience

  • Comfort operating in business-facing conversations

  • Experience leading projects or mentoring others

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Real architectural ownership in an AWS-native ecosystem

  • High business visibility and influence

  • Opportunity to help re-platform and modernize core systems

  • Work on large-scale, real-world operational platforms

  • Competitive compensation + bonus

  • Clear path toward Technical Lead / Staff growth
