Lead Cloud Developer role in Pune; spearhead serverless and containerized solutions on AWS/Azure.
Full-stack expertise, mentoring, and CI/CD leadership required.
Job Description
We are looking for a Lead Cloud Developer with a strong software engineering background who has evolved into cloud-native development. In this role, you will lead the design and development of modern cloud applications on AWS and Azure, combining your full-stack expertise with cloud-native patterns. You bring years of hands‑on coding experience and understand how to build scalable, secure, and maintainable software, now leveraging the full power of cloud platforms.
Responsibilities
- • Lead the design and development of cloud-native applications, bringing strong software engineering principles to every solution.
- • Design and implement full-stack solutions using serverless, event‑driven, and container‑based patterns on AWS and/or Azure.
- • Write clean, testable, and production‑ready code — setting the standard for quality across the team.
- • Drive technical decisions around application architecture, API design, data modelling, and system integration.
- • Mentor and guide developers, fostering best practices in software craftsmanship, code quality, and modern development workflows.
- • Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to translate business requirements into well‑designed cloud applications.
- • Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines and automated deployment processes to support rapid, reliable delivery.
- • Apply security best practices at the application level, including authentication, authorisation, and data protection.
- • Continuously evaluate and adopt new cloud services, frameworks, and tools that improve developer productivity and application quality.
- • Ensure systems meet functional and non‑functional requirements through thoughtful design, testing strategies, and observability.
Requirements
- • Proven track record as a software developer, ideally with full-stack experience (frontend + backend).
- • Demonstrable experience building cloud‑native applications on AWS or Azure in recent years.
- • Proficiency in at least two programming languages (e.g., TypeScript, Python, Golang, Java).
- • Strong understanding of software architecture and design patterns (SOLID, DRY, KISS, event‑driven, domain‑driven). • Experience with serverless architectures (Lambda, Azure Functions), containers, and/or Kubernetes from a developer perspective.
- • Knowledge of CI/CD practices and modern delivery workflows (GitOps, trunk‑based development).
- • Solid understanding of cloud security best practices at the application layer.
- • Excellent problem‑solving skills and ability to make pragmatic technical trade‑offs.
- • Strong communication skills — able to articulate technical concepts to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders. • Experience working in agile teams and leading technical discussions.
Preferred Qualifications
- • Experience designing and building APIs (REST, GraphQL) and working with NoSQL databases (DynamoDB, CosmosDB).
- • Deep knowledge of event‑driven architectures: queues, streams, pub/sub, and asynchronous patterns.
- • Understanding of scalability, concurrency, and distributed systems challenges.
- • Familiarity with functional programming principles (map/reduce/compose, immutability). Internal
- • Experience with code management strategies (monorepo/multirepo) and release processes.
- • Proficiency in applying quality gates: code reviews, pair programming, automated testing.
- • Hands‑on experience with Kubernetes (CRDs, operators) or infrastructure‑as‑code tools (Terraform, Crossplane).
- • Knowledge of authentication/authorisation protocols (OAuth2, OIDC, JWT, SAML, RBAC/ABAC).
- • Experience with cloud networking and proxies.
- • Experience in building serverless cloud applications.
- • Expertise in CI/CD pipelines, GitFlow, and GitOps frameworks like Flux and ArgoCD.
- • Proficiency with GitHub for version control, code reviews, and collaborative development.
- • Experience in developing and managing cloud infrastructures using Crossplane.io is a plus.
- • AWS or Azure certifications are a plus.
- A fundamental grasp of AI tools will be an added benefit.
