Senior Backend Cloud Engineer — AWS Serverless (Remote)

About EverUp

We're a UK startup making gift-card shopping rewarding. Our mobile app (React Native) and web experiences run on a serverless AWS backend. We're hiring a Backend Cloud Engineer to evolve and maintain the APIs, databases, and services that power payments, wallet, rewards, and near-real-time features.

The role

You'll work across our event-driven, serverless stack to maintain and evolve production systems. That means adding features, fixing bugs, improving performance and cost, tightening security, and raising reliability—while collaborating closely with Mobile/Web.

What you'll do

- Maintain and evolve AWS Lambda microservices behind Amazon API Gateway (HTTP/REST & WebSocket) and AWS IoT Core;
implement authentication/authorization via Cognito User Pools (JWT) and Lambda authorizers for REST/HTTP.
- Maintain and optimize data models and access patterns in DynamoDB and MySQL (RDS);
handle indexes, migrations, and query performance.
- Maintain asynchronous workflows using SQS/SNS (idempotency, DLQs, retries) and keep observability healthy with CloudWatch metrics/logs and alarms.
- Maintain and improve our IaC (AWS SAM/CloudFormation), CI/CD pipelines, and environment promotions.
- Integrate and support third-party services used for payments, open banking, notifications, fraud/risk, analytics and support tooling.
- Troubleshoot production issues, drive RCAs, and implement preventive fixes and runbooks.
- Uphold security best practices (least-privilege IAM, secret management, input validation, auditability).

Tech you'll touch

AWS Lambda, API Gateway (REST/WebSocket), Cognito, DynamoDB, RDS MySQL, SQS/SNS, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, CloudFormation/SAM, EC2, ECS, plus fintech/comms integrations (Open Banking/PSP, Gift Cards, Analytics, Messaging, Support, and Risk assessment tools).

Must-haves

- 8+ years building/maintaining production backends;
4+ years with AWS serverless (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB).
- Proficiency in JavaScript/Node.Js;
strong REST API fundamentals and event-driven patterns.
- Solid SQL/NoSQL skills (schema design, indexing, query tuning).
- Experience maintaining IaC (SAM/CloudFormation) and CI/CD (Code Pipeline).
- Security-first mindset and practical debugging/troubleshooting chops (OWASP).
- WebSocket/API Gateway connection management and real-time features.
- Payments/fintech and fraud/risk integrations.
- Observability practices (dashboards, tracing, log correlation) and SLOs.
- Elastic Beanstalk familiarity and data pipelines/warehousing exposure.

How we work

Remote-first within UK time zone, startup-paced, with high ownership. We value clean code, small safe changes, and excellent operability.

Hiring process

- Intro call
- Technical deep-dive (systems design discussions focused on maintainability and evolution)
- Practical walkthrough (IaC/API/data-modeling maintenance scenario)
- Founder/lead chat & references

Equal opportunity

We're an equal-opportunity employer and welcome every background and perspective.

How to apply

Send your CV, GitHub/portfolio, and a brief note describing a production backend you maintained/evolved and the reliability or cost improvements you delivered.
