PETADATA is seeking a highly experienced Senior Cloud Developer with a strong foundation in software engineering and extensive hands‑on experience with AWS Lambda using Python.

Lead the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) of cloud‑native applications using AWS Lambda (Python).

Design, build, test, and deploy scalable serverless applications on AWS.

Apply deep knowledge of Python and previous experience in Java‑based enterprise applications to develop robust business logic and backend systems.

Utilize AI development tools (such as Amazon Q, GitHub Copilot, or others) to streamline development tasks and improve code quality.

Integrate and manage messaging systems (ideally Kafka; other systems like SQS or RabbitMQ are acceptable).

Support and implement database migrations, especially to Amazon DynamoDB, including schema design and performance tuning.

Collaborate with product owners, architects, and other developers in an Agile environment.

Conduct code reviews and provide technical mentorship to junior team members.

Required Skills

15+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong base in Java and current expertise in Python.

5+ years of recent hands‑on experience in developing serverless applications using AWS Lambda in Python.

Proven ability to handle full SDLC, including design, development, testing, and deployment in cloud environments.

Practical experience using AI‑assisted coding tools (e.g., Amazon Q, GitHub Copilot, etc.).

Strong experience in cloud messaging systems (preferably Kafka).

Experience with NoSQL databases, especially DynamoDB, including experience in migrating data and applications to DynamoDB.

Familiarity with AWS services such as API Gateway, Step Functions, EventBridge, and S3.

Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and event-driven design.

Preferred Qualifications

AWS Certifications (Developer Associate, Solutions Architect, etc.) are a plus.

Experience in Agile/Scrum environments.

Prior experience working in large-scale enterprise software environments.

Education

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
