Job Description

As a Full Stack Engineer, you will be a "force multiplier" for the team. You will not only build mission-critical payment services on AWS but also lead the adoption of agentic AI tools (such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Devin AI) to accelerate the SDLC.

Cloud-Native Development: Design and implement scalable, secure full-stack applications using Java (Spring Boot) and Python, deployed as containerized (EKS) or server-less (Lambda) workloads on AWS.
AI-Augmented Engineering: Integrate AI tooling into daily workflows-using GitHub Copilot for real-time assistance, Claude Code for complex architectural reasoning, Devin AI for autonomous task execution and PR management and MCP.
Full Stack Ownership: Build responsive front-end components (React/TypeScript) and robust back-end APIs, ensuring seamless integration with relational (PostgreSQL) and non-relational (DynamoDB, MongoDB) databases.
Modern SDLC & SecDevOps: Manage the complete lifecycle using GitLab CI/CD, emphasizing automated testing, security scanning, and rapid, high-quality value delivery.
Modernization & Refactoring: Leverage AI agents to accelerate the migration of legacy payment logic into modern, cloud-native microservices.
Mentorship: Act as a technical authority, teaching fellow engineers how to effectively prompt, supervise, and validate AI-generated code to maintain enterprise-grade standards.

Messaging: String experience with MSK.
API Design: Proven track record of designing and delivering RESTful APIs and microservices architectures.

AWS & Cloud-Native Specialization
AWS Proficiency: 2+ years of hands-on experience with AWS services, including Lambda, ECS/EKS, S3, IAM, KMS, and CloudFormation/CDK.
Containerization: Strong knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes (EKS) for orchestrating distributed systems.
Security: Experience implementing a SecDevOps mindset, including identity propagation and secure secret management in the cloud.
AI-Augmentation & Productivity
AI Tooling: Demonstrated proficiency in using AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot) and agentic AI (e.g., Claude Code, Devin AI) to improve velocity and code quality.
Prompt Engineering: Ability to design structured prompts and workflows for AI agents to handle multi-step engineering tasks like unit test generation and documentation.
Critical Supervision: Strong ability to critically evaluate AI-generated outputs for correctness, security, and performance.

Preferred Qualifications
Familiarity with financial messaging standards (e.g., ISO 20022).
Contributions to open-source AI agent frameworks or internal AI-driven automation initiative
