Position : Lead AWS/Python Developer/ Architect (- 15+ years of hands-on AWS cloud engineering experience) Remote, but only for Eastern, Central, and Mountain Time zone candidates. Please see my notes below.Developer position working in the Cloud (They call this role a cloud dev) the key is real dev skills and dev backgrounds. Client wants a highly experienced AWS/Python developer who still writes code daily, even if their title is Lead or Architect.Candidates 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- AWS certifications (Solutions Architect Professional or DevOps Engineer Professional preferred) - Experience in cloud environments - Strong experience with Terraform - Strong experience in scripting languages (Python) - Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skillsDeveloper position working in the CloudMy notesThis is a hands on developer role and the candidates should really be aware of this. Some get to me and are surprised to find out. 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 sr level developers get hired for this and they can be found; lots of them have been hired for this over the last couple of year.I would urge you to look for 14 plus years of experience on this oneTypically, 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. 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, A lot over 15 plus 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 to get 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 an AWS migration from on-prem to cloud AWS, new code in Python, old code is in Java.
