The Opportunity
We are seeking a Senior AWS Application Engineer: a hands-on, highly skilled engineer who designs, builds, and ships serverless applications and APIs on AWS for enterprise clients. You will own the technical delivery of cloud-native solutions from design through production, writing high-quality code, defining infrastructure as code, and applying AWS best practices for security, scalability, and cost efficiency. Working alongside architects, product teams, and client stakeholders, you will turn complex business problems into reliable, well-engineered systems. Experience with Amazon Connect and contact center solutions is a plus, but your depth in the AWS serverless landscape is what matters most. This is an opportunity to lead impactful client engagements, mentor fellow engineers, and help shape engineering standards across our Cloud Engineering practice.
Responsibilities
