• CI/CD & IaC: Own the full development lifecycle by maintaining automated pipelines and using Terraform/CloudFormation for reproducible environments.
• Agile Collaboration: Drive architectural discussions and code reviews within an Agile Scrum framework to ensure high-quality, scalable feature delivery.

• Architecture: Proven track record with Microservices and API-first design principles.
• AWS Mastery: Hands‑on experience with the AWS ecosystem (ECS, EKS, Lambda, RDS, API Gateway).
• DevOps Tooling: Proficiency with Docker and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or AWS CodePipeline).
• Infrastructure: Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools like Terraform.
• Compliance: Must currently reside in Florida or Texas.
• Note: Sponsorship is not available for this role.

What Sets You Apart

• Advanced Patterns: Experience with Event-Driven Architecture (SNS/SQS, Kafka) or Serverless patterns.
• Observability: Proficiency with New Relic, CloudWatch, or Datadog.
• Industry Context: Previous experience in travel, ticketing, or reservation systems.
• Leadership: Experience mentoring junior developers or acting as a technical lead.
