We are looking for a Junior Cloud Platform Software Developer to help build, automate, and maintain scalable cloud-native applications and platform services on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

You’ll gain hands-on experience in cloud engineering grounded in CNCF best practices — containerized microservices, declarative infrastructure, observability, and cost awareness. You’ll work closely with DevOps, SecurityOps, and QA teams to ensure our AWS platform is secure, testable, and cost-efficient.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain services and APIs deployed on AWS (ECS, EKS, Lambda).
• Assist in writing and deploying Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or AWS CDK).
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or AWS CodePipeline, ensuring good test coverage and automated validation.
• Learn and apply FinOps principles — monitor AWS spend, optimize resource usage, and flag inefficiencies.
• Participate in feature flag rollouts and safe deployments using LaunchDarkly.
• Implement observability and logging using Amazon CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry, and Prometheus/Grafana.
• Collaborate with SecurityOps on IAM policies, encryption, and incident response.
• Support debugging, testing, and continuous improvement of distributed AWS workloads.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.

• 1–3 years of experience in cloud application or backend development.
• Basic hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, S3, Lambda, IAM, CloudFormation).
• Proficiency in at least one backend language (Python, Go, Java, or Node.js).
• Understanding of containers (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes or ECS).
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools and Git-based workflows.
• Knowledge of networking, REST APIs, and basic security fundamentals.

Nice to Have

• Experience or curiosity about FinOps (AWS Budgets, Cost Explorer, Savings Plans).
• Familiarity with CNCF tools (Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus).
• Exposure to feature flag tools (LaunchDarkly, Split.io).
• Experience writing automated tests for API or infrastructure validation.
• Interest in contributing to open-source or internal reusable modules.

Soft Skills

• Strong desire to learn cloud and automation technologies.
• Curious and detail-oriented, especially around cost and performance optimization.
• Collaborative team player who enjoys solving complex problems.
