Hope you are doing well!Our client is looking for a highly experienced AWS/Python developer who still writes code daily, even if their title is Lead or Architect.This is a developer position working in the Cloud (They call this role a cloud dev); the key is real development skills and backgrounds.Remote, but only for Eastern, Central, and Mountain Time zone candidates. No PST time zone candidates allowed. Also, Arizona is not allowed due to its lack of daylight savings time and time zone differenceDuration: 6+ months, possible extensionInterview: Video InterviewNew job descriptionCandidates need extensive exp in:- AWS- Lambda- Terraform- IaC- System Design knowledge- Kafka- API Development- Cloudwatch- Strong foundation in cloud technologies – python, Java, AWS, Lambda, Step FunctionsRequired Qualifications- 15+ years of hands-on AWS cloud engineering experience- Strategic thinker is a MUST- Someone with consistent communication and ability to follow through- AWS certifications (Solutions Architect Professional or DevOps Engineer ProfessionalDeveloper position working in the CloudNotesThis is a hands on developer role and candidates should be fully aware of this. That being said, leads and architects that are truly still hands-on have been getting hired for this lately. Many get screened out for not being hands-on enough or at all when they interview. Very senior-level developers get hired for this and they can be found; lots of them have been hired for this over the last couple of years.This job is about talent, not rate, quality is everything.Typically, on this particular job description, it does more harm than good but it has been changed and updated now so hopefully it will help you to fill it. What I sent over is how we have been able to find people who get hired for this. Previous Java experience in their career or as former Java developers. They need to have been in Python, typically for 5 plus years; the more the better. Very senior-level developers have been getting hired lately, many with over 15+ years, but sometimes a 10-year developer can be hired. The experience should be in the USA for at least 10 years. Lambdas are extremely important for this position. They must have worked with them. AWS cloud experience is important. The more recent the better, Azure is not what they're doing. This is an AWS migration from on-prem to the AWS cloud; new code is in Python, and old code is in Java.Thanks & RegardsSurbhi Sharma |IT Recruiter Surbhisharma@kpgtech.comDirect- 609-934-5141KPG99,INC3240 E STATE ST EXTHamilton, NJ 08619www.kpgtech.com
