The position also involves producing technical specifications, integrating production-ready systems with observability, supporting quality assurance and deployment controls, maintaining existing functionality and documentation, and participating in deployment planning, on-call rotations, and incident response. The team uses React, Node.js, AWS, PostgreSQL, CI/CD tools, Terraform, and payment providers including Worldpay and Stripe. This is a fully remote, U.S.-based position, excluding Hawaii and Alaska, with a preference for candidates in the Kansas City region.
