Smartedge’s Client is looking for an individual to help with their AWS API Technical Architect @ Remote Working (UK)
Key area:
We are looking for an AWS API Engineer / Data Architect to design secure, scalable, and well-integrated API and microservices architectures across multiple client applications and services.
* Design serverless and microservices-based API architectures on AWS
* Define and apply RESTful API design patterns and integration standards
* Support system and data integration across distributed services
* Assess and address technical debt, recommending pragmatic modernisation approaches
* Work closely with product teams to design solutions that align to their roadmap and support their needs
* Support deployment planning, cutover activities, and post‑go‑live stabilisation
* Collaborate with cybersecurity and delivery teams to ensure secure, observable solutions
* Design the integration of applications with identity providers and secure access patterns\"
\"The services used across these systems are likely to include:
* AWS Services (i.e. API Gateway, Lambda, Aurora RDS Postgres, EKS, ECR, STS, Route 53, VPC)
* Kubernetes
* CI/CD (e.g. GitHub, Jenkins)
* Prometheus, Grafana
* ELK
* Apollo GraphQL, TypeScript
* AWS Config, AWS Macie, AWS Guard Duty, AWS Security Hub, Amazon CloudWatch, Amazon CloudTrail\"
It is not necessary to have experience in all the above; the most key element is a strong foundation in API and microservices architecture.
Happy to consider candidates from an engineering / delivery-focused background as well as experienced architects.
