## Description

Linchpin Software is looking for a Cloud Software Developer to join a small team building an automated, self-service platform on AWS for enterprise developers. The work is real software engineering: services, APIs, and automation in Python, TypeScript, or Java, deployed with infrastructure as code. Developers across the enterprise will get what they need in minutes instead of weeks because of what you build.

We build software differently. Our engineers use AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Codex, GitLab Duo) every day to design, code, test, and debug faster. You'll spend your time solving problems, not writing boilerplate.

Whether you come from software development or DevOps, if you write code and know AWS, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Do:

 * Write the services, APIs, and automation behind a self-service developer platform
 * Build on AWS: Lambda, API Gateway, ECS/EKS, S3, IAM, Step Functions, and more
 * Define infrastructure as code (Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation) and ship through CI/CD
 * Own features end to end, from design to production to supporting real users
 * Troubleshoot production issues and fix what's broken for the developers who rely on it
 * Use AI coding agents daily to multiply what you can deliver
