Knowledge Services is seeking a remote AWS Cloud Engineer for a 6-month contract (potential for extension and/or contract to hire opportunity). This role will work remotely on CST hours.
Please note that we cannot consider any third-party candidates, those requiring C2C, or anyone requiring sponsorship for a work visa.
AWS Cloud Engineer Responsibilities:
• This project is in the process of migrating off of an on-prem, heavy-weight, commercial integration middleware technology that has been positioned to support event-driven (pub/sub, message-based) integration use cases - primarily between its corporate ERP systems and factory/distribution center operational systems (ex: Manufacturing, Warehouse Management, Quality Management, and automated industrial systems).
• The legacy Oracle SOA integration platform is being replaced by a modern platform built upon cloud-native, distributed services which will include AWS Lambda, SQS, ECS, and DynamoDB. A high-level blueprint has been established, upon which this engagement will execute against (and be refined/improved as needed).
• Replacement solution is expected to be commercialized alongside other digital solutions (following a SaaS-based delivery model) via the customer's digital labs organization.
• Consultant will work with customer's team (integration architect, cloud platform engineers, product teams) to begin the transformation off of legacy integration platform to the new cloud-based platform.
AWS Cloud Engineer Requirements:
• 5+ years of experience working with Python programming language and able to apply this experience towards building integration service components using cloud-based infrastructure (ex: exposing/consuming REST APIs, interacting with traditional RDBS technologies including Oracle and SQL server, bridging the gap between cloud native vs. legacy technology integration).
• Must have AWS server less development and Integration development.
• Proven track record delivering event-based integrations using AWS cloud services (Lambda, SQS, ECS, API Gateway, DynamoDB) at a highly-scalable and global level (has integrated mission-critical systems spanning many geographies including Americas, Europe, and Asia)
• Versed in AWS well architected framework and able to promote resiliency and failure management aspects (rollback / retry / auto-recovery / self-healing capabilities) for mission-critical, event-driven system integrations
• Strong technical coach/mentor/guide for other product team developers transitioning from building/supporting legacy integration components (using commercial integration middleware tools and "database centric" architecture - ex: PL/SQL stored procedures, polling database tables) towards a more modern architecture using cloud-based, serverless technologies.
• Ideal candidate "leads by example" to help customer skill up existing product team developers and provides feedback for ways to further cultivate talent in areas needed to build/grow the new integration platform and complementary capabilities (delivering digital solutions on cloud-based platforms)
• Infrastructure as code (terraform, CDK, cloud formation) knowledge and experience is preferred, including experience using AWS SDK (anticipate needing to dynamically provision/update/destroy cloud infrastructure components used by integrations as part of the new solution architecture)
