On the forefront of Kunai’s recent efforts is building a suite of next generation automation platforms and tools that will be instrumental in enabling repeatability, stability and quality for multiple development teams across a partner bank. In this role, you’ll work on a SCRUM team that will own products and services end to end, from intent refinement to development to production support. You will build and support new feature builds for the larger transformation within the Fraud Prevention organization, involving a bespoke microservices-based architecture in Python that can scale like never before. 

Basic Requirements: 

• 5+ yrs working in a production environment in any language, with 3+ yrs writing backend services in Python
• production-ready experience with AWS, specifically Step Functions and Lambdas, and deep understanding of how they work together in distributed systems
• 3+ yrs hands-on with IaC, either Terraform, CloudFormation, or AWS CDK 
• experience with automating pipelines in either AWS or GCP

Nice to haves: 

• Java and Spring Boot
• experience in automated testing, end to end testing, or integration testing

This role is remote but core working hours align to EST. The salary range for this position is $155,000 - $170,000 per annum. A slightly higher range is available to residents of NYC. 

At Kunai, we have built deep relationships with our clients. Our bar is high, and our mission is to always exceed our client’s expectations. If you are fanatical about customer success and driven to work on and solve tough technical challenges, we would love to chat with you!
