Make sure to apply quickly in order to maximise your chances of being considered for an interview Read the complete job description below.

The Opportunity :

You will be the technical owner of our entire Amazon Web Services footprint, turning Infrastructure‑as‑Code into a secure, highly available platform that delivers our Progressive Web App (PWA) to DoD customers worldwide. Your day‑to‑day ranges from assisting with designing Virtual Private Cloud networks and CloudFront edge policies to writing service-worker code that keeps the app lightning‑fast offline, so every commit you ship has an immediate, mission‑critical impact.

You’ll automate everything, including golden‑image pipelines, Terraform deployments, CI / CD scans, and patching, so our engineers can focus on features while you ensure we meet FedRAMP and DoD Cloud Computing SRG requirements without breaking a sweat. As the resident cloud architect, you’ll guide decisions on encryption strategy, logging, and cost optimization, mentoring junior developers and presenting elegant diagrams to security auditors alike. Because we’re still small, you’ll also get the creative freedom to prototype new ideas—whether that’s containerizing our API, adding WebAssembly to the PWA, or piloting an Impact‑Level‑4 deployment—and see them go live in production within days.

If you thrive on end‑to‑end ownership, love switching between infrastructure puzzles and modern JavaScript, and want your code to support real‑world missions, this role will feel like a playground.

Join us. The world can’t wait.

You Have :

2+ years of experience with web development and Amazon Web Services

1+ years of experience writing Infrastructure‑as‑Code and developing modern JavaScript applications such as React, Vue, or Angular

Experience automating security controls and compliance checkpoints

Ability to obtain a Secret clearance

Nice If You Have :

Experience designing, deploying, and operating production workloads, including CloudFront, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, EC2, VPC, IAM, and KMS

Experience with Terraform or AWS Cloud Development Kit, including modules, state management, and CI / CD integration, and developing and maintaining web-based server applications and implementing algorithms that interface with relational databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL

Experience delivering at least one PWA that uses service-worker caching and offline storage

Experience with hardening, patch automation, and log aggregation with CloudWatch or a comparable observability stack

Experience with VPC design, subnet isolation, security‑group and Network‑Access‑Control‑List configuration, and TLS certificate management via AWS Certificate Manager
