  • Design and manage complex SQL schemas and queries, with a preference for experience with DB2.
  • Build and maintain secure, containerized services in a microservices architecture, leveraging AWS ECS and Terraform for infrastructure automation.
  • Integrate Microservices with AWS services like RDS, SecretsManager, AWS Cognito and other Identity Providers like Azure Entra ID
  • Ensure high-quality delivery in an Agile environment, including code reviews, unit/integration testing, CI/CD pipelines, and clear documentation.

  • Evaluate and introduce emerging technologies where appropriate, contributing to the continuous improvement of architecture, tools, and development practices.
  • Use your technical expertise to balance scope, speed, and quality, and to support fast-paced delivery without compromising system integrity

Qualifications

  • Experience working with AWS services like ECS, ECR, SecretsManager, Cognito, ALB and CloudWatch
  • Hands-on experience with DevOps practices, including Docker containers, authentication mechanisms, and deployment to AWS ECS.
  • Proficient in SQL, with experience designing and optimizing database schemas; DB2 exposure is a strong plus.
  • Infrastructure-as-Code proficiency, especially with Terraform.
  • Experience working within distributed systems and microservice-based architectures.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to document and communicate complex workflows or codebase areas clearly.
