Summary of Cloud role:
The key is finding a cloud-native AWS developer with strong Python-based AWS Lambda development experience.
Must have hands-on experience building AWS Lambda functions in Python from scratch. Candidates who primarily write Lambdas in Java or Node.js are not a fit.
Should have a Java development background, but have transitioned to Python and AWS and spent at least the last 4+ years focused on Python-based AWS development.
Strong knowledge of core AWS services and cloud-native application development is required.
Must have experience with Terraform (IaC), as the team has moved away from CloudFormation.
