What we’re looking for...
You’ll need to have:
The AWS Stack & Infrastructure
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Deep expertise in AWS CloudFormation/CDK to ensure all virtual services are secure, version-controlled, and auditable
AI & Orchestration: Expertise in AWS Bedrock, Bedrock AgentCore, Strands
Environment & Security: Familiarity with AWS IAM, VPC, and networking infrastructure to maintain a "security-first" architecture
Data Foundation: Experience with AWS S3, Redshift, and Aurora as the backbone for AI-powered solutions.
AI-Native Software Engineering skills
Python (Programming Language): Advanced proficiency to guide AI agents and ensure the technical foundation is robust
