Junior Cloud Developer

About the role

Atlanta, GA - On-Site

Rocket Partners employees are passionate about solving complex technology challenges for our clients and harnessing the power of the cloud to accelerate creative solutions. We are looking for an Associate Cloud Engineer to join our growing team of experts. We are looking for builders; leaders who can design, build, and deliver net new solutions from scratch, while leading our growing organization and client-base to continued scalable, sustainable success. Rocket Partners embody the values of curiosity, initiative, follow through, and growth.

Founded in 2016, Rocket Partners has had incredibly successful growth. To that success, our company is not backed by a VC or PE firm — we are continually profitable on our own! As the business continues to grow we are looking for employees to share our passion for driving the success of our clients.

The ideal candidate has 1-3 years building and operating software on AWS or Azure. We care much more about whether you have shipped and run a real cloud system than about which language you wrote it in. Our teams work primarily in Java, TypeScript and Go, and you will be productive in whichever one your squad uses — we expect you to learn a new language on the job, because that is now a normal part of the work.

How We Work Every engineer here builds AI coding agents as a standard tool. That has changed what junior engineering is. The bottleneck is no longer how fast you can produce code, it is whether you can tell correct from plausible, whether you understand the system the code is landing in, and whether you can operate it once it is running. We hire and promote against that.

Practically, this means we weigh cloud fundamentals, debugging, and judgment far above syntax fluency in any particular language.

Responsibilities - Design, build, and maintain efficient, reusable, and reliable services in the language your squad uses

- Use AWS or Azure APIs to build cloud-native solutions — infrastructure is part of the job, not a separate team

- Deploy, run, and monitor production systems; participate in triaging issues in systems you did not write

- Contribute and maintain automated unit and integration tests

- Use AI coding agents day to day, and take responsibility for reviewing and correcting what they produce

- Read and critique code — your own, your teammates’, and code generated for you

- Participate in the build and implementation of detailed architectural plans and tickets

- Participate in requirements reviews and other technical discussions

- Work as part of a highly collaborative agile team

- Attend client standups; clearly explain the status of your own work to a client audience

- Gain detailed knowledge and understanding of platforms, features, and dependencies

Requirements Up and down the tech stack, this is a hands-on position that requires curiosity, initiative, and follow through. We are screening for demonstrated capability, not for a keyword list.
