Role Mission

We’re building a team of highly-skilled engineers who want one thing above all else: to write excellent code, every day, and continuously level up technically.

This role is tailor-made for engineers who don’t want to be managers, lead product discussions, or spend their days writing strategy docs. Instead, you'll thrive on solving hard technical problems, learning from brilliant peers, and diving deep into the codebase — day in, day out.

However, this isn’t solo hacker mode. You’ll be part of a high-performing team, expected to navigate real-world, fast-moving client projects. This involves thoughtful collaboration, clear communication, and proactively unblocking yourself and others. We seek engineers who ask great questions, learn from teammates, and know how to get what they need to do their best work.

The Senior Cloud Engineer’s mission will involve building with Serverless on AWS . This is a client-facing role, involving conversations and planning with external clients, engaging in both technical and business discussions. While our core stack is AWS Serverless & Typescript, you will gain experience with different approaches and technologies as needed.

Skills

• Typescript
• Production experience with AWS Serverless (CDK, Lambda)
• Node.js
• Experience in a Cloud Engineering role
• Ability to communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Stem / Computer Science Degree or comparable experience

Advantageous Skills

• Experience with API Gateway, Step Functions, AppSync, and EventBridge
• AWS Certifications
• Experience with other modern OOP languages (Python, Java, Go, etc.)
• Exposure to DynamoDB
• Familiarity with containerisation tools (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)

What we Offer

• Competitive salary
• 22 Days annual leave
• Learning and Development support
• 3-week work-from-anywhere policy
• Equipment budget for your tech setup
• Company pension
• Monthly socials
• A Slack network of 600+ engineers
• Monthly "Lunch & Tells" sessions
• Bi-Annual Engineering Hack Days
• Hybrid work from our Green Point, Cape Town office
