Senior Serverless Architect (AWS)

About the role

A Role with Purpose and Impact
Dev Technology is expanding the size of our programs, the complexity of our technical challenges, and the impact of the missions we support. This role exists to help us scale thoughtfully while continuing to deliver high-quality, mission-critical systems for the federal government, including programs supporting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE.

Leadership and Technical Delivery

• Design and evolve cloud-native, serverless architectures supporting large, complex data sets and high-volume event-driven data flows
• Work directly with customers to understand mission needs, clarify constraints, and explore tradeoffs that lead to durable solutions
• Serve as a trusted technical partner to program leadership — providing perspective during key decisions, stepping in when needed, and helping teams navigate complexity
• Build trusted partnerships with federal clients while mentoring and guiding technical teams

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree and 7+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Production AWS serverless experience — you have built and operated systems using Lambda, DynamoDB, EventBridge, SQS, and S3 (not just prototypes or certifications)
• Event-driven architecture — you have designed systems where services communicate through events/messages rather than direct API calls. You understand eventual consistency and its tradeoffs
• Node.js — strong production experience. This is a JavaScript/Node.js platform
• DynamoDB — hands-on experience with single-table design, streams, and global tables (not just relational databases)
• Infrastructure as code — experience with Serverless Framework, AWS CDK, SAM, or CloudFormation
• US Citizenship and the ability to obtain/maintain DHS clearance
• Active AWS Certification(s)
• Willing and able to meet with client(s) in the D.C. Metro area

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with DynamoDB Streams for change data capture and event publishing
• Experience with data lake architectures (S3 + Athena + Glue, medallion/bronze-silver-gold patterns)
• Experience with micro-frontend architectures (Single-SPA, Module Federation, or similar)
• Familiarity with event sourcing and CQRS patterns at the system level
• Experience with multi-region active-active deployments on AWS
• Experience with Kinesis Firehose for streaming data ingestion
• AWS certifications (DevOps Pro, Solutions Architect Pro, or Security Specialty)
• Experience with AWS GovCloud or FedRAMP-authorized systems
• Experience mentoring teams of 3+ engineers on cloud-native platforms
• Federal or regulated environment experience collaborating with government clients
