Position Profile

Develop an integration framework to deploy an ecosystem of microservices that provide high value production print services.

Services may include PDF file hosting, transforms, viewers, preflight, imposition, workflow automation, and print production. New API based serverless cloud-native (AWS, Lambda, SNS) microservices will be developed and deployed on an existing SaaS platform with a mature Lake House.

A multidisciplinary intern team will be formed to include software development, CI/CD (Gitlab, Jenkins), Quality Development Engineering, User Experience Design, and Product Management. The project will take the services from start, all the way to production and the hope that by the end of the summer be running with real customers.
