  • Implement secure data access patterns across distributed systems
  • Design and integrate cross-domain (low-to-high) data pipelines into AWS environments
  • Work with CDS/diode technologies to enable secure data transfer across classification boundaries
  • Integrate data pipelines with AWS services (S3, OpenSearch, etc.) and enterprise systems
  • Participate in architecture discussions and technical decision-making
  • Evaluate and improve LLM-driven workflows in operational environments

What We're Looking For

Core Development + AWS
  • Strong development background (Python, Java, or similar)
  • Experience building applications in AWS
  • Familiarity with serverless architectures (Lambda, Step Functions)
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and modern development practices

AI / Data / Agentic Workflows

  • Familiarity with agent frameworks (Bedrock Agents, Strands, or similar)
  • Understanding of federated data integration patterns

Cloud Infrastructure (Landing Zones)
  • Experience or exposure to building AWS environments from the ground up
  • Understanding of multi-account architectures, IAM, VPC design, and guardrails
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)
  • Exposure to AWS GovCloud or classified regions (preferred)

Cross Domain / CDS
  • Experience or familiarity with Cross Domain Solutions (CDS) or secure data transfer systems
  • Understanding of low-to-high data flow constraints and validation requirements
  • Exposure to data diode architectures or guard technologies (preferred)
