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:
