About the position

As an AWS Cloud Developer at IRIS Consulting Corporation, you will be instrumental in the modernization of the Criminal Justice Exchange Program (CJEP) through the development of cloud-native applications on the AWS platform. This position is not a DevOps or Cloud Engineer role, but rather focuses on software application development within an AWS Cloud environment. You will be part of the GTA CJEP project, which aims to enhance data sharing between various agencies, counties, and cities by transitioning from a SoftwareAG-centric solution to a more efficient cloud-based architecture. Your work will involve leveraging existing APIs and web services to facilitate this modernization, ensuring that the new system meets the needs of the counties that opt into the service. In this role, you will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in a SCRUM Agile environment, contributing to the design, development, and maintenance of scalable cloud solutions. Your responsibilities will include implementing serverless architectures using AWS Lambda, orchestrating workflows with AWS Step Functions, and developing SOAP-based web services. You will also be responsible for ensuring the security and integrity of data through custom header implementations and handling MTOM attachments for efficient data transmission. Your contributions will be vital in delivering high-quality software solutions that align with business objectives and enhance the overall functionality of the CJEP project.

• Design, develop, and deploy cloud-native applications on AWS using services such as Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, and others as needed.

• Design, develop, and implement SOAP-based web services using service technologies.

• Stay current with AWS services, tools, and best practices and share your knowledge within the team.
