ABOUT THIS ROLEAbout the Role

APEX Fintech's AWS WorkSpaces platform is a production-grade, multi-region AWS serverless system that automates the full lifecycle of Amazon WorkSpaces virtual desktops for a multi-tenant VDI program spanning hundreds of active desktops. We're hiring a Senior AWS Cloud Engineer who will take full ownership of the platform's architecture — designing, building, and automating the systems that keep it running — while serving as the go-to expert for day-to-day production incidents. You'll bring a security- and compliance-first mindset to every decision, ensuring the platform holds up to the standards our regulated fintech environment demands.

Duties/Responsibilities

• Own the architecture, code quality, and evolution of the platform — driving decisions on new capabilities, DR testing, scaling, and Terraform IaC.

• Serve as the primary escalation point for engineering questions related to the system.

• Diagnose and resolve production incidents quickly, tracing failures end-to-end across Lambda, SQS, DynamoDB, SNS, and CloudWatch Logs.
