As a Staff Engineer, you will also provide technical leadership: driving architecture decisions, raising engineering standards, mentoring teammates, and helping teams deliver secure, scalable, and reliable systems—especially for IoT-driven workloads and cloud-native services on AWS. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own technical architecture for key components (scalability, reliability, observability, cost awareness)
• Build and optimize IoT data ingestion pipelines and event-driven services using AWS-native patterns
• Establish and enforce cloud security best practices (least privilege, secrets management, encryption, auditing)
• Improve developer productivity through standards, reusable patterns, reviews, and mentorship
• Collaborate cross-functionally to deliver features end-to-end, from concept through production support
• Troubleshoot production issues and drive root-cause analysis and long-term corrective actions

SOFT SKILLS

• Ability to communicate ideas effectively to other software engineers
• Able to work proactively and take ownership of outcomes
• Able to work solo or on a team as project requires
• Able to troubleshoot issues and drive problems to resolution

Cloud (AWS) & Infrastructure

• Strong hands-on experience building cloud-native systems on AWS
• Experience with AWS IoT Core (device connectivity, messaging patterns, rules engine, integration to downstream services)
• Infrastructure-as-Code experience using AWS CloudFormation (templates, stacks, change sets, repeatable environments)
• Strong AWS networking knowledge (VPC design, subnets, routing, security groups/NACLs, private connectivity patterns)
• Knowledge of Security Best Practices in AWS, including:
  • IAM least privilege & role-based access
  • Encryption at rest/in transit (e.g., KMS usage patterns)
  • Logging/auditing (e.g., CloudTrail/centralized logs)
  • Secure networking patterns and environment isolation

Backend Engineering

• 5–7 years building production backend systems (services, APIs, distributed systems)
• Proficiency with one or more of:
  • Python
  • Java
  • .NET (C#)
• Experience building reliable integrations and data pipelines (event-driven patterns preferred)

Databases

• Strong experience with PostgreSQL (schema design, indexing, query optimization, migrations, performance tuning)
• Strong SQL fundamentals

EXTRA SKILLS (Not required, but helpful)

• Frontend and/or full-stack familiarity: React and Node.js
• CI/CD experience (any of the following or similar):
  • AWS CodePipeline / CodeBuild / CodeDeploy
  • GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.
  • Automated testing and deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, feature flags)
• Container and orchestration experience (ECS/EKS, Docker, Kubernetes)
• Observability experience (metrics, logs, tracing; alerting and dashboards)
• AWS Certifications (nice-to-have):
  • AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate/Professional)
  • AWS Certified Developer
  • AWS Certified Security – Specialty

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• You deliver well-structured services that are secure, observable, and stable in production
• You raise the technical bar through mentorship, reviews, and pragmatic architectural leadership
• You reduce operational burden by improving automation, CI/CD, and reliability practices
• You help the team move faster while improving quality and security
