Software Engineer - AWS

AWS Software Engineer Nottingham | Hybrid – 3 days per week in the office
We're looking for a hands-on AWS Cloud Engineer to join an engineering team building cloud-native applications and internal platforms.
This is a great opportunity for an engineer who enjoys writing clean code, automating infrastructure and building production-grade software on AWS. You'll work across serverless, event-driven architectures, infrastructure as code and CI/CD, taking ownership of your work from design and development through to deployment and monitoring.
What you'll be doing Design, build and maintain serverless applications using AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, SQS and SNS
Develop clean, maintainable and well-tested TypeScript / Node.js services
Build RESTful and event-driven APIs across microservices and distributed workloads
Own features end-to-end, from requirements and design through to testing, deployment and incident response
Design and manage AWS infrastructure using CDK, CloudFormation or Terraform
Build and improve CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions or similar
Implement monitoring, alerting and observability across production environments
Work with AWS IAM, secrets management and security best practices
Collaborate with product, platform and DevOps teams to deliver scalable engineering solutions
Contribute to technical design, documentation, runbooks and architectural decisions
What we're looking for You'll ideally have strong hands-on experience with:
Node.js and/or TypeScript, alongside modern JavaScript
AWS, particularly Lambda, DynamoDB, S3 and IAM
Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK, CloudFormation or Terraform
Automated testing, ideally Jest
CI/CD tooling such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions or CircleCI
REST APIs and event-driven architectures
Cloud security fundamentals including IAM, least privilege and secrets management
Agile software engineering and full lifecycle delivery
Nice to have Experience with any of the following would be a bonus:
React or another modern frontend framework
Java, Go, C#, Rust or another strongly typed language
Internal developer platforms or shared engineering services
AWS Connect, voice, telephony or contact centre technologies
Event streaming technologies such as Kinesis, EventBridge, Kafka or SQS/SNS
Why this role? You'll be joining a team where you can have genuine ownership over the technology you build, working across software engineering, cloud infrastructure and automation rather than being siloed into one area.
If you're an AWS engineer who enjoys writing code, building serverless platforms and automating everything you can, this could be a great next step.
