Gotham Technology Group is seeking a hands-on Cloud Engineer to join a cloud engineering group supporting the modernization of its AWS footprint. The role focuses on building secure, automated AWS solutions, infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, APIs, serverless and containerized workloads, observability, and internal tooling while collaborating with architecture, integration, release engineering, and application development teams.
Responsibilities
- Build and support solutions using core AWS services; Lambda is a big part of the day-to-day, along with API Gateway, ECS/Fargate, RDS, DynamoDB, and S3
- Write and maintain Infrastructure as Code using tools like Terraform, AWS SAM, and CloudFormation
- Build and support CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar)
- Partner with integration and application teams on APIs, middleware, and serverless/containerized workloads
- Write automation and tooling in Python, Node.js, and/or Java
- Troubleshoot issues that span application code, infrastructure, networking, and deployments
- Use AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT) as part of your regular workflow; this team leans into AI-assisted development and values people who know how to prompt effectively and use these tools to move faster and write better code
- Help implement and support observability practices (logging, metrics, tracing)
- Contribute to reusable templates, deployment patterns, and internal tooling

- • Working familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform experience is a plus, deep expertise not required)
- • Exposure to AWS SAM and/or CloudFormation, ideally paired with a CI/CD tool like GitHub Actions
- • Strong troubleshooting instincts; comfortable digging into both application-level and infrastructure-level issues
- • Genuine, active use of AI coding assistants in your workflow, with the ability to prompt them effectively to speed up development
- • A collaborative mindset — this team values people who communicate well, take feedback in stride, and work well with others just as much as raw technical chops
- •Contract to hire role and open to candidates in Arizona, South Carolina and Westchester County NY•
- • Experience with Docker/containers or ECS
- • Java/Spring Boot
- • Exposure to databases like PostgreSQL or DynamoDB
Benefits
