Role description
AWS Application Developer - Spain
We are still looking for the very Top Talent… and we would be delighted if you were to join our team!
More in detail, UST is a multinational company based in North America, certified as a Top Employer and Great Place to Work company, with over 35,000 employees worldwide and presence in more than 35 countries. We are leaders in digital technology services and provide large-scale technology solutions to big companies.
We are building an AI-native internal developer platform for a leading financial services client: the paved road that lets every engineering team build applications with AI agents as first-class developers, with governance and automation built in. The platform is greenfield and already in use, and we are looking for a hands-on senior engineer to help shape it from the ground up.
What we look for?
We are looking for an AWS Application Developer to build the self-serve platform, quick starts and governance checks behind this developer platform.
100% remote position for people located in Spain.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build the self-serve platform: control plane services, APIs, the CLI, and integrations with AWS, GitHub, Entra, Snowflake and core systems.
- Build quick starts and reusable skills that define best-practice application development, used by both the platform team and teams building on top of it.
- Build operational and governance checks, both deterministic scripted checks and agentic applications, that keep applications compliant without manual gatekeeping.
- Work with engineering teams across the firm to define the patterns, guardrails and paved paths that AI agents follow when building applications.
- Develop serverless AWS applications and tools using Lambda, API Gateway and Step Functions, together with GitHub Actions and Infrastructure as Code.
- Automate the software delivery lifecycle and engineering controls,
and raise platform quality through code review, test automation, observability and documentation.
Mandatory requirements:
- English C1 (required).
- Strong application-development experience, enough to define how applications should be built well and encode that as patterns and quick starts.
- Strong AWS application development and software engineering experience, ideally on developer tooling, delivery platforms or cloud-native developer workflows.
- Daily use of AI-assisted engineering, working with a coding agent or harness. Experience with spec-driven development is a strong plus.
- Solid knowledge of AWS serverless and event-driven services: Lambda, API Gateway and Step Functions.
- Experience automating CI/CD, SDLC and engineering controls with GitHub Actions and Infrastructure as Code.
- Experience building automated governance, compliance or operational controls into delivery pipelines.
- Good engineering practice as second nature: API design, automated testing, observability, documentation and secure-by-default delivery.
Nice to have:
- Python/FastAPI for building production APIs and services.
- TypeScript/React for web front ends and developer consoles.
- Experience building internal developer platforms or "platform-as-a-product".
- Experience building agentic applications, or designing APIs, CLIs and reusable skills for human and agent consumers.
- Financial services or other regulated-industry experience.
Skills: AWS, AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions, API Development, Amazon API Gateway, Event-Driven Architecture
