This role is ideal for a mid-level engineer who writes solid code and embraces AI-powered tools to work smarter and faster. You’ll help shape architectural discussions, and scale modern development practices, including responsible use of AI in workflows. Key Responsibilities Design and implement secure, scalable, high-performing, yet simple solutions using AWS Serverless technology. These solutions should strive to be event-driven, highly observable, with infrastructure as code, and tightly leveraging AWS’s ecosystem of services. Optimize your development and delivery experience in order to maximize your team’s productivity and deploy continuously to production. Work in a collaborative environment where you regularly pair, plan, and execute tasks as a team and maintain a healthy development flow by adhering to Agile processes and driving iterative enhancements. Use AI tools to accelerate coding, debugging, testing, research, and code reviews, always validating outputs and applying judgment. Required Experience/Skills 3–5 years of professional software engineering experience in an agile, fast-paced environment. AI Tooling & Practices: Uses AI to boost productivity, skilled in prompt engineering, and evaluates AI outputs responsibly (bias, cost, ethics). Familiar with core AI concepts (tokens, context length, embeddings, hallucinations), understands high-level LLM behavior, and recognizes safe vs. unsafe use cases (privacy, security, fairness).
