North Point Technology is looking to hire a hands-on Cloud Engineer specializing in serverless architecture and identity/security implementation to support a fast-paced AWS cloud program.

Required Skills/Experience:

  • Amazon OpenSearch and OpenSearch Serverless hands-on implementation
  • AWS serverless stack: API Gateway, Lambda, and DynamoDB
  • AWS CDK with Python for infrastructure-as-code development
  • Identity and access engineering using JWTs and OAuth
  • Lambda authorizer development and integration
  • Certificate Revocation List (CRL) and JWKS validation

Preferred Skills/Experience:

  • Experience delivering solutions in a classified or secure enclave environment
  • Familiarity with data lake patterns on AWS

  • Active Top Secret/SCI clearance
  • AWS certification (e.g., AWS Certified Developer, AWS Certified Solutions Architect, or equivalent)
