Job description

AWS Engineer1

Title: AWS Engineer
Location: Offshore (Remote)

Job Overview:

We are seeking a skilled AWS Engineer to support the buildout and scaling of CodePulse, an internal engineering metrics platform. This is a contract position for 3–6 months, focused on implementing AWS infrastructure for high-throughput metric ingestion and analytics.

The ideal candidate has a strong track record of building scalable, event-driven systems using core AWS services such as ECS Fargate, SQS, API Gateway, RDS, S3, and Elasticache. Experience working on similar data processing or pipeline-based platforms is highly desirable.

Key Responsibilities:

Design, implement, and maintain secure, auto-scaling AWS infrastructure for a container-based microservice application.
Deploy ECS (Fargate) workloads that process messages from SQS queues and write results to RDS and S3.
Set up and tune CloudWatch alarms, logs, and metrics for system observability and alerting.
Configure and optimize infrastructure components: SQS, SNS, API Gateway, RDS (PostgreSQL), ElastiCache (Redis), and S3.
Support integration with GitHub and Jira by securely handling API credentials, tokens, and webhook flows.
Write and manage infrastructure-as-code using Terraform or AWS CDK, with support for versioning and team hand-off.
Work with internal engineers to troubleshoot issues, optimize performance, and manage deployment workflows.

Qualifications:

4–6 years of hands-on experience working as an AWS DevOps or Cloud Engineer.
Proven experience deploying and scaling services using ECS Fargate, SQS, API Gateway, RDS (Postgres), and S3.
Experience with Redis caching using Elasticache and familiarity with tuning cache strategies.
Strong experience with CloudWatch, including logs, alarms, and dashboard setup.
Proficient with Terraform or AWS CDK for infrastructure automation.
Strong understanding of VPCs, IAM roles and policies, TLS, and secure communication patterns.
Demonstrated experience building or supporting event-driven microservices in a production setting.
Ability to work independently in a remote, distributed team and communicate clearly.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience building internal tools or platforms with metric processing, workflow orchestration, or CI/CD integration.
Familiarity with GitHub Actions, Docker, and container image deployment via ECR.
Experience optimizing AWS infrastructure for cost efficiency and auto-scaling under burst loads.
Prior experience integrating with third-party APIs like GitHub, Jira, or ServiceNow (optional but a plus).
