We are seeking a Software Engineer with strong Python and AWS experience who wants to make a real engineering impact, not just close tickets. In this role, you’ll actively write code, dive into root‑cause issues, and build solutions that strengthen our systems end‑to‑end.

Work Model:
- Hybrid
What You Will Do:
- Investigate and resolve service errors and incidents
- Work heavily in AWS environments (Lambda)
- Perform Python-based engineering tasks (not just scripting)
- Write and execute SQL queries
- Support system integrations, including tools like ServiceNow
- Collaborate across vendor systems and internal platforms
- Read and understand existing code to troubleshoot effectively
What You Will Need to Be Successful:
- Demonstrated engineering-level proficiency in Python
- Hands-on experience with AWS services, particularly Lambda
- Strong troubleshooting and root‑cause problem‑solving skills
- Ability to read, interpret, and analyze existing code
- Practical experience working with SQL
