The Motley Fool is looking for multiple highly skilled Freelance AWS Developers to consult with our team on an independent contract basis, 20-40 hours per week for approximately 6 months (but potentially longer).
This is a senior-level, full-stack developer position that is very flexible and 100% remote, but candidates MUST reside in the United States to be considered.
Who are we?
We are The Motley Fool, a purpose-driven financial information and services firm with nearly 30 years of experience focused on making the world smarter, happier, and richer. But what does that even mean?! It means we’re helping Fools (always with a capital “F”) demystify the world of finance, beat the stock market, and achieve personal wealth and happiness through our products and services.
The Motley Fool is firmly committed to diversity, inclusion, and equity. We are a motley group of overachievers that have built a culture of trust founded on Foolishness, fun, and a commitment to making the world smarter, happier and richer. However you identify or whatever winding road has led you to us, please don't hesitate to apply if the description above leaves you thinking, "Hey! I could do that!"
What does this team do?
We are assembling a team of AWS-experienced developers, product managers, designers and more to help us migrate to a cloud-first environment. This consultant will be reporting to our product lead to help us iterate on new prototypes, but will also be working cross functionally with stakeholders across The Motley Fool on our current systems and their migration to the cloud.
What would you do in this role?
You’ll be consulting cross-functionally across tech and design teams at The Motley Fool as we push full-steam ahead toward our migration to the cloud (and AWS specifically). You’ve preferably worked for a cloud-based company in the past and can bring your unique perspective (framed by your expert-level coding chops) to the table. We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, is adept with all things AWS and development in the cloud, and is eager to move quickly and show what’s possible with products in the cloud.
