- Execute monolith to microservices decomposition including database separation and bounded context identification.
- Develop REST APIs and serverless services on AWS Lambda using SAM and API Gateway.
- Implement event-driven design patterns using SQS, SNS, EventBridge, and Step Functions (visual workflows with parallel processing and error handling).
- Design and execute database decomposition and migration strategies.
- Implement containerization and orchestration using Docker, Amazon ECS/EKS, and Fargate.
- Configure service discovery using AWS Cloud Map for dynamically changing microservices.
- Provide technical guidance to associates on modernization best practices.

- Robust backend development skills with Java, Python, Node.js, or equivalent.
- Experience designing and implementing REST APIs on Lambda using SAM and API Gateway.
- Experience with event-driven architectures (SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Step Functions).
- Proficiency with containerization and orchestration (Docker, ECS/EKS, Fargate).
- Understanding of database modernization patterns, DMS, and SCT.
- Familiarity with service discovery (Cloud Map) and service mesh (App Mesh) concepts.
- Strong communication skills and ability to articulate technical decisions.
- Knowledge of Agile Methodology and Practices.

Nice to Have
- AWS Developer Associate or Solutions Architect Associate certification.
- Experience with AI tools in development lifecycles (GitHub CoPilot, Cursor, Amazon Q Developer).
- DevOps experience (CI/CD pipelines using CodePipeline, GitHub Actions).
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK).
- Familiarity with strangler fig, branch-by-abstraction, and other incremental migration patterns.
- Experience with observability tools (X-Ray, Container Insights).
