• Migrate and build scalable cloud networks and applications, including VPCs with public/private subnets, NAT gateways, security groups, and EC2/Lambda deployments.
• Author reusable TypeScript constructs implementing interfaces, classes, generics, and types to model infrastructure components.
• Use AWS CDK CLI commands (cdk synth, cdk deploy) to synthesize and deploy stacks to target AWS regions (e.g., us-west-2).
• Manage Node.js package dependencies using npm for CDK projects.
• Write unit tests for CDK constructs and infrastructure code using Jest.
• Debug and troubleshoot infrastructure deployment errors and runtime issues in AWS environments.
• Collaborate with cloud architects and DevOps teams to ensure best practices for secure and highly available cloud infrastructure.
• Provide well-documented, clean, and maintainable CDK code to facilitate automation and operational efficiency.

• Practical knowledge of Node.js environment and npm package management.
• Experience writing unit tests for infrastructure code using Jest or similar frameworks.
• Hands-on experience managing AWS infrastructure components such as Lambda, EC2, S3, IAM, VPC, Subnets, NAT Gateways, and Security Groups.
• Proficient with CDK CLI tools: synth, deploy, diff, etc.
• Experience designing and implementing secure, scalable AWS networks with private/public subnet architectures.
• Ability to debug infrastructure issues, understand CloudFormation stack failures, and troubleshoot runtime problems.
• Familiarity with AWS best practices for security, cost optimization, and high availability.
• Excellent problem-solving skills with a pragmatic approach to cloud infrastructure automation.
• Strong English communication skills with ability to write technical documentation clearly and comprehensively.
