Qualifications - You have deep proficiency in AWS, building solutions that involve services like AWS Lambda, AWS API Gateway, Step Functions, DynamoDB, RDS, and AWS Bedrock. - You bring strong Terraform experience for building and maintaining infrastructure modules. - You are highly skilled in Python for backend development, API design, and scripting. - You have mastery of GitHub Actions and GitHub Enterprise for building and maintaining workflows, secrets, and environments. - You possess solid SQL knowledge for database querying, optimization, and relational data management. - You are an expert with Git for version control, branching strategies, and collaborative workflows. - You can design enterprise or web-scale hosting platforms, applying DevOps philosophies, Agile methods, and Infrastructure as Code. - You understand infrastructure vulnerabilities, secrets management, network security, software supply chain security, and monitoring systems. - You like staying ahead of the curve; bonus points apply if you have experience with unit testing, automated testing tools, stress, and performance testing. Requirements - You genuinely enjoy interacting with teammates from across the business and have a knack for communicating technical concepts to nontechnical audiences. - You love creating robust, scalable, flexible, and relevant solutions that help transform businesses and industries. - You’re comfortable partnering directly with infrastructure technicians, support and network analysts, security analysts, system administrators, and/or IT managers to design technical strategies while simultaneously collaborating with senior IT groups in an advisory capacity. - You adapt effortlessly to uncertainty, embrace change, and confidently make decisions with limited information to achieve positive outcomes. Benefits - There is no one-size-fits-all career path at Thoughtworks: however you want to develop your career is entirely up to you. - Your career is supported by interactive tools, numerous development programs, and teammates who want to help you grow. - We see value in helping each other be our best and that extends to empowering our employees in their career journeys.
