Competent backend generalist with ~5 years experience.
A bigger org I'd probably just change the backend code to Go and start taking advantages of other AWS products to manage ETL/monitoring/logging/etc. The change to Go is mostly just to prevent your more 'clever' engineers from producing code that no one but them can understand. Languages like Clojure and Scala while cool can start causing real problems in an org where the experience level isn't uniform.
A note on tech that bears repeating, if it isn't going to be your differentiator then choose boring building blocks.
