About the Role
StratITech Services is seeking a Principal Cloud Platform Engineer (Serverless / AWS) for a confidential client building next-generation consumer and IoT technology. This role is software-centric, focused on backend engineering, cloud-native application development, data systems, and serverless architectures—not infrastructure operations.
You will drive cloud platform architecture, lead end-to-end technical delivery, and collaborate with product, mobile, web, hardware, and data stakeholders. Your work will power critical customer experiences and help scale a rapidly growing technology ecosystem.
Note: No C2C or C2H arrangements will be considered. This is a direct contract engagement only. No agencies—unsolicited outreach will be reported as spam.
What You’ll Do
Architect and develop cloud-native backend services leveraging AWS serverless technologies.
Design and implement end-to-end cloud application flows supporting mobile, web, IoT devices, and data pipelines.
Influence and guide architectural decisions across cross-functional engineering teams.
Own the full lifecycle of technical delivery—architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and operations.
Champion modern cloud software practices: IaC, CI/CD, observability, test automation, and event-driven design.
Ensure platform reliability, scalability, maintainability, and performance.
Work closely with product and design teams to create intuitive and performant user experiences.
Foster a culture of ownership, technical excellence, and continuous improvement.
Required Qualifications
6+ years as a Cloud Software Engineer, Backend Engineer, or similar role.
Strong API design experience and expertise building asynchronous/distributed systems.
Hands-on proficiency with AWS (especially serverless: API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS, IAM, CDK).
Strong Python development background.
Experience with data pipelines and cloud-native streaming tools (e.g., Kinesis).
Deep understanding of observability, tracing, performance, and reliability.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
Preferred Skills
TypeScript and modern JavaScript experience.
Familiarity with Kafka, Snowflake, or similar streaming/warehouse tools.
Mobile app development (React Native, native modules, Bluetooth LE, websockets).
RBAC design for internal/external applications.
Experience with CI/CD, build systems, GitHub Actions.
Knowledge of compliance/security frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, CPRA).
