About MEGAZONE

MegazoneCloud is the ideal digital transformation partner supporting enterprises in successful Generative AI adoption and cloud-native modernization.

About the role

MegazoneCloud is looking for a Lead Software Engineer to own technical direction on complex, multi-vendor cloud programs that modernize legacy applications and manual processes into agentic, event-driven architectures on AWS. These are large enterprise engagements, frequently in regulated industries, with multiple delivery teams, partner vendors, and a client organization that expects its technical lead to be in the room and accountable.

What they're looking for

  • Experience. 8+ years of professional software or platform engineering experience, including demonstrated time as the senior technical lead on complex, multi-vendor cloud programs. Formal title is not required, but the accountability must have been real
  • AWS depth. Solid hands-on knowledge of Step Functions, Lambda, ECS Fargate, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, EventBridge, and Bedrock — enough to recommend the right services and architectures for a given set of requirements and to be challenged on it
  • Modernization track record. Proven delivery modernizing legacy applications and processes into event-driven, and increasingly agentic, architectures
  • Code review depth. Comfortable reading Python, Node.js/JavaScript, and Terraform well enough to provide design-level feedback and assess system architecture
  • API design. Able to contribute to and review REST or GraphQL contracts and catch integration problems before development starts
  • Specification rigor. Demonstrated ability to critically evaluate FRDs, BRDs, and functional specifications and convert them into platform deliverables engineers can execute against
