  • Team with engineers to solve system design and implementation problems (and get a thrill out of every triumph!).
  • Work with and enable engineers from other teams who interact with the platform.
  • Problem-solve issues based on business/customer need and impact, working with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • You will flourish working in a hyper-growth environment where the next project is ready to be picked up

What You'll Bring

  • At least 3 years of relevant software development experience
  • Strong experience in Node.js is a must
  • Experience dealing with high traffic applications (1M+ requests per day)
  • Strong experience working with relational and non-relational data stores (like Postgres, DynamoDB & Redis).
  • Experience with Amazon Web Services including ECS, S3, SNS, SQS, and Lambda.
  • Experience with Docker and containers.
  • DevOps experience in cloud infrastructure management with tools like Terraform, Serverless, and Ansible.
  • Practical and theoretical knowledge of development patterns, software architectures and design patterns (TDD, Event-Driven, SOLID, Hexagonal, DDD).
  • Knowledge of (cloud) infrastructure principles (load balancing, high availability, containerized services, database configurations) is a must.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills in English.
