- Define platform standards, operating procedures, and governance controls for secure and scalable scheduler adoption
Platform Engineering and Enablement:- Design and implement the target multi-account AWS architecture for the scheduler platform
- Create onboarding mechanisms, reusable templates, and platform services that enable internal customers to adopt MWAA efficiently
- Partner with platform consumers to support onboarding, access patterns, integration requirements, and usage best practices
- Help establish guardrails and self-service capabilities that improve the customer experience while maintaining compliance
Backend/API Development:- Build and maintain RESTful APIs with Python, containerized and deployed on AWS ECS Fargate/EKS
- Design clean contracts and versioned APIs; document with OpenAPI/Swagger
- Support integration between scheduler services, platform components, and enterprise applications
AWS & Infrastructure: - Configure API Gateway for secure routing, throttling, authentication, and authorization
- Use Infrastructure as Code such as Terraform or AWS CloudFormation for MWAA, ECS Fargate, EKS, API Gateway, IAM, networking, and multi-account platform resources
- Work across AWS services including S3, Lambda, CloudWatch, OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, DynamoDB, and Bedrock as applicable
- Apply enterprise security, account separation, and deployment patterns for multi-account AWS architecture

- Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests with pytest; automate regression testing with QA
- Perform load and stress testing; analyze performance and reliability metrics
Observability & Operations:- Implement centralized logging and metrics using CloudWatch, Dynatrace, and OpenSearch/Elasticsearch where needed
- Set up alerting based on SLIs and SLOs for workflow health and platform reliability
- Troubleshoot incidents using logs, traces, and metrics; proactively address bottlenecks and failed workflows
Security & Governance:- Implement IAM, SSO, OAuth2, and JWT; follow AWS security best practices and enterprise governance standards
- Apply secure access controls, secrets management, and dependency scanning
- Partner with architecture and governance teams to ensure platform controls align with enterprise policies
Leadership & Delivery:- Own technical direction and architecture for Python-based services, AWS platform capabilities, and MWAA-based scheduler modernization
- Break down roadmaps into milestones; drive estimations, delivery predictability, and risk management
- Lead design reviews, establish engineering standards, and approve critical architectural decisions
- Mentor engineers; provide feedback and growth plans; foster high-quality code, documentation, and operational excellence
What you bring- Bachelor's or higher in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience
- Strong experience building backend services and RESTful APIs with Python and FastAPI, documented with OpenAPI/Swagger
- Hands-on experience migrating enterprise workloads from AutoSys or similar schedulers to AWS MWAA
- Strong experience designing and supporting multi-account, multi-tenant AWS platforms
- Proficiency with AWS services such as MWAA, ECS Fargate, EKS, API Gateway, Lambda, S3, CloudWatch, DynamoDB, RDS, and IAM
- Practical experience with Terraform and/or AWS CloudFormation
- Experience designing AWS account structures, access models, and platform guardrails for enterprise use
- Hands-on skills in Python; exposure to SQL or Java is a plus
- Proficiency with Git/GitHub, CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins, and deployment automation
- Clear, concise communicator who can influence decisions with data, presentations, and visualizations
- Effective collaborator in a hybrid environment; able to work independently with strong leadership and follow-through
Added bonus if you have- Experience with enterprise scheduler migrations from AutoSys to MWAA or similar orchestration platforms
- Experience supporting enterprise platform onboarding and self-service enablement
