AWS Cloud-Native Databases SME

Your New Company

You'll be joining a forward-thinking organisation focused on building advanced fraud-detection capabilities using modern cloud-native technologies. The company values innovation, secure development practices, and seamless integration across distributed systems. You'll work in a collaborative, fast-paced environment alongside architects, developers, and data teams driving mission-critical solutions.

Your New Role

As a key member of the engineering team, you will lead and contribute to the design and development of high-performance, scalable services that power fraud detection systems. You'll take ownership of technical components, work hands-on across AWS, microservices, and real-time data streaming, and ensure robust integration with existing enterprise systems.

You'll Be Involved In:

• Architecting, designing, developing, and delivering PoCs related to fraud detection.
• Leading the migration of services and data from Aerospike to cloud-native databases.
• Integrating Databricks-based back-testing into the fraud detection pipeline.
• Collaborating closely with architects and developers for seamless system integration.
• Participating in weekly stand-ups to showcase progress and align on deliverables.
• Taking ownership of backlog tasks and ensuring timely, high-quality delivery.

What You'll Need to Succeed

• Strong hands-on expertise with AWS, including cloud-native databases, relational stores, and caching technologies (e.g., DynamoDB, Redis, Postgres, Aerospike).
• Proficiency in Kafka for real-time data streaming.
• Experience with NodeJS on AWS.
• Working knowledge of Aerospike and its data model (preferred).
• Solid programming experience in Java for backend development.
• Proven experience in microservices-based distributed environments and service orchestration.
• Strong commitment to building scalable, resilient, and high-performance systems, with clean and maintainable code.
• Hands-on expertise in CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.).
• Understanding of secure coding standards, data protection principles, and regulatory environments.
• Strong knowledge of unit testing, integration testing, and test automation frameworks (JUnit, Jest, PyTest, etc.).
• Familiarity with cloud-native development and Agile ways of working.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently with strong ownership.
