This is a Software Development position-not a DevOps, Infrastructure, or Cloud Engineering role. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience building cloud-native applications, serverless architectures, and enterprise integration solutions using AWS services, Python, and SOAP-based web services. The successful candidate will join a high-performing Agile team supporting the modernization of a mission-critical Criminal Justice Exchange platform. This initiative focuses on transforming an existing legacy integration solution into a scalable, cloud-native AWS platform that securely exchanges data among state agencies, counties, municipalities, and third-party systems. Project Overview The Criminal Justice Exchange Program (CJEP) modernization initiative is replacing a legacy Software AG based integration platform with a modern, cloud-native architecture built on AWS. The new platform will: * Enable secure data exchange between state, county, and municipal agencies. * Integrate with third-party vendors and government systems. * Leverage existing APIs and web services while introducing modern cloud-native services. * Improve scalability, reliability, security, and operational efficiency using serverless AWS technologies., * Design, develop, test, and deploy scalable cloud-native applications on AWS. * Build enterprise software using AWS services including: * AWS Lambda * API Gateway * DynamoDB * Amazon S3 * Step Functions * State Machines * Develop highly available and secure serverless applications using Python. * Design reusable application components following cloud-native best practices. * Optimize applications for performance, scalability, resiliency, and maintainability. AWS Serverless Development * Design and implement serverless architectures using AWS Lambda. * Develop workflow automation using AWS Step Functions and State Machines. * Build event-driven integrations between cloud services and enterprise applications. * Develop RESTful and service-oriented integrations using AWS-native technologies. Enterprise Integration & Web Services * Design, develop, and maintain enterprise SOAP-based web services. * Work extensively with: * XML * XSD * WSDL * SOAP protocols * Implement secure custom SOAP headers for authentication, authorization, and message integrity. * Develop MTOM (Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism) solutions for transmitting binary attachments such as PDF documents. * Integrate cloud-native applications with legacy enterprise systems and third-party services. Agile Software Development * Participate in Agile SCRUM ceremonies including Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives. * Collaborate closely with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Architects, QA Engineers, and business stakeholders. * Translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions. * Produce clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following industry best practices. Quality & Performance * Develop automated unit and integration tests. * Perform code reviews and maintain high coding standards. * Troubleshoot and resolve application issues across development, testing, and production environments. * Continuously improve application performance, security, and reliability. Continuous Learning * Stay current with AWS services, cloud-native architecture patterns, and modern software engineering practices. * Share technical knowledge and mentor team members when appropriate. ## Related Videos - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Web APIs you might not know about](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/281-web-apis-you-might-not-know-about) - [Cloud-nativeApplications- What’s the buzz about](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/55-cloud-nativeapplications-what-s-the-buzz-about) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) - [Enterprise-Cloud-Native - Fast-Paced Development & Deployment in a Highly Secure Banking Environment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/671-enterprise-cloud-native-fast-paced-development-deployment-in-a-highly-secure-banking-environment) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer)
