Remote AWS Lambda Developer

Set the Standard for Serverless Impact

When was the last time your code made someone’s day easier? As a Remote AWS Lambda Developer, your creations won’t just power infrastructure—they’ll redefine digital experiences for users worldwide. Here, curiosity and innovation aren’t just encouraged—they’re expected. You’ll architect event-driven solutions that anticipate real-world needs, working from anywhere that inspires your best thinking.

What Drives Success in This Role

Imagination and precision matter equally. You’ll craft seamless Lambda functions that eliminate friction and boost performance across critical workflows. Success means more than uptime; it’s measured by how many bottlenecks you remove and how deeply your work empowers both end users and internal teams. Every project is an opportunity to stretch your technical mastery while mentoring others and driving growth for both yourself and your colleagues.

Your Mission: Design, Build, Transform

  • Architect serverless applications leveraging AWS Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and S3 for resilient, cost-efficient solutions that scale.
  • Partner with product managers, UX designers, and fellow engineers to shape intuitive cloud-powered features. You’ll move beyond coding—your insights will fuel product direction.
  • Optimize execution times and resource allocation to help users enjoy instant responses, even during traffic surges. Every millisecond saved is a moment gained for our users.
  • Guide automated deployment pipelines with infrastructure-as-code tools, such as AWS CloudFormation or Terraform, ensuring every rollout is smooth and reliable.
  • Elevate reliability by embedding robust monitoring with CloudWatch and distributed tracing. Your proactive problem-solving will ensure our systems remain resilient and transparent.
  • Write test suites and peer reviews that build trust. Every line of code you touch raises the bar for quality and clarity.
  • Share your expertise across teams—whether on a quick Slack call or through thoughtful documentation—because shared knowledge makes us unstoppable.

Work Style and Environment

Here, remote doesn’t mean distant. Our team is a community connected by a shared passion for serverless innovation and continuous improvement. You’ll have the flexibility to design your ideal workspace while regular video jams, collaborative whiteboards, and async discussions ensure your voice shapes every major technical decision. We move quickly, but you’ll always have space to focus intensely—there’s room for both rapid delivery and craftsmanship.

Tools and Technologies You’ll Master

  • AWS Lambda, Step Functions, and EventBridge for event-driven microservices.
  • DynamoDB and S3 for data storage and retrieval at scale.
  • RESTful and GraphQL APIs via API Gateway.
  • CI/CD with CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and containerized Lambda deployments.
  • IaC solutions: AWS CloudFormation, Terraform, and Serverless Framework.
  • Real-time monitoring with CloudWatch and distributed tracing tools.
  • Collaborative stack: Jira, Slack, GitHub, and Miro for seamless remote teamwork.

What You’ll Bring to the Table

  • Deep expertise in serverless architecture and hands-on AWS Lambda experience.
  • A knack for translating abstract ideas into reliable, production-grade solutions.
  • You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom, a pull request, or a brainstorming session.
  • You’ve delivered cloud-native solutions that are noticeably faster, leaner, and smarter—creating measurable value and lowering costs.
  • Fluency in at least one primary programming language (Python, Node.js, or Go preferred).
  • Familiarity with automated testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code.
  • You thrive in a remote-first culture—self-motivated, proactive, and always willing to lend a hand.

What You’ll Achieve in Your First Year

  • Deliver Lambda-powered features that reduce manual workloads for 100,000+ users.
  • Cut cold start times and accelerate deployment cycles, setting new performance benchmarks.
  • Mentor new engineers, contributing to a learning culture that values curiosity and continuous growth.
  • Help shape the technical roadmap as we expand our cloud-native offerings, driving innovation at every step.

Rewards and Growth

Your contributions are valued here, with a remote compensation of $124,208 annually—rewarding your expertise and commitment. You’ll enjoy the flexibility of remote work, access to advanced training resources, and the chance to leave your mark on cloud-powered solutions relied upon by teams and customers worldwide. Career growth here means more than promotions—it’s about expanding your influence, exploring new technologies, and working with peers who’ll celebrate your wins.
