The successful candidate will possess 8-10 years of software development experience, specializing in data modernization using cloud solutions on AWS. This role involves close collaboration with the data modernization teams at ITD and DPH to design, implement, and manage robust AWS solutions that align with their technical requirements and critical business objectives.
