NCONS Talent Solutions is looking for a hands‑on AWS Technology Lead to take a monolithic Java application running on EC2 and rebuild it as an AWS‑native solution.

- Lead database migration and tuning across Aurora PostgreSQL, RDS and DynamoDB
- Build CI/CD and infrastructure as code with Jenkins or GitHub Actions, Docker and Terraform/CloudFormation
- Write and review Java, Spring Boot and TypeScript code
- Run client workshops, present design decisions and mentor engineers across distributed teams
What you'll bring
- Proven lead role on a Java monolith to AWS microservices modernisation, beyond lift-and-shift
- Recent hands‑on Java / Spring Boot, plus TypeScript or Python
- Hands‑on database skills: data modelling, SQL tuning, migration, backup and recovery
- Terraform or CloudFormation, CI/CD, automated testing and security scanning
- Clear communication with technical and business stakeholders
Nice to have

- AWS Certified Solutions Architect or DevOps Engineer – Professional
