About The Position

Think of TEKsystems Global Services (TGS) as the growth solution for enterprises today. We unleash growth through technology, strategy, design, execution and operations with a customer-first mindset for bold business leaders. We deliver cloud, data and customer experience solutions. Our partnerships with leading cloud, design and business intelligence platforms fuel our expertise. We value deep relationships, dedication to serving others and inclusion. We drive positive outcomes for our people and our business, and we stay true to our commitments and act in harmony with our words. We exist to create significant opportunity for people to achieve fulfillment through career success. Ready to join us? Here’s what the opportunity supported through our TGS Talent Acquisition Team requires: The Software Developer is a hands-on technical contributor responsible for designing, building, deploying, and maintaining modern full-stack applications using React on the front end and Node.js (JavaScript/TypeScript) on the back end. This role emphasizes delivering secure, scalable, cloud-native solutions on AWS, including designing and integrating REST/JSON APIs (often using serverless patterns such as Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda) and partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality user experiences and services. Developers are expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy and ownership across the full SDLC, contribute to architecture and technical decisions, mentor other engineers, and actively improve delivery, reliability, and operational excellence. They apply strong engineering practices including automated testing, CI/CD-driven delivery, security best practices (authentication/authorization and least-privilege access), and observability (logging, metrics, monitoring) to ensure systems are production-ready and maintainable. Top 3 Hiring Priorities 1. React front-end engineering: deep experience building modern, responsive web applications with React and TypeScript/JavaScript, including reusable component patterns, performance/accessibility considerations, and clean UI architecture. 2. Node.js services + AWS serverless delivery: proven ability to build and integrate REST/JSON APIs using Node.js (TypeScript/JavaScript) and deploy/operate them on AWS (commonly using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda; familiarity with workflow and event-driven patterns such as Step Functions/EventBridge is a plus). 3. Production readiness and ownership: strong SDLC execution (unit/integration testing, CI/CD), secure engineering practices (authn/authz and least-privilege access), CloudWatch-oriented observability, and a track record of collaborating effectively and improving engineering practices (quality, reliability, delivery).

Requirements

Full-stack expertise in Node.js (JavaScript/TypeScript), and React
Demonstrated ability to design clean, maintainable, well tested codebases, including strong familiarity with automated testing (unit/integration) and ownership of component level test strategy for the systems they build and support.
Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including: Data structures and algorithms, API design and integration, Modular and layered architectures, Performance and scalability considerations
Strong preference for full stack capability, including: Backend services (APIs, services, integrations, data access), Front end frameworks (React preferred; Angular or similar)
Alternatively, strong depth in either backend or frontend, combined with solid working knowledge of the adjacent layer to support end-to-end delivery.
Strong experience with modern DevOps practices, including: CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Automated testing and deployment, Observability, logging, and monitoring (e.g., Amazon CloudWatch)
Familiarity with tools and platforms such as: Git, CI/CD platforms (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.), Containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
A mindset focused on operability, reliability, and automation, not just code delivery.
Strong experience in at least one major cloud platform: AWS (preferred), Azure, or GCP
Experience designing, deploying, and operating applications in cloud environments, including: Networking, security, and identity concepts, Managed services and patterns (e.g., serverless with API Gateway/Lambda, compute, storage, databases), Cost awareness and basic optimization considerations
Demonstrated experience using AI assisted development tools to improve productivity, quality, and learning (e.g., code generation, refactoring, testing, documentation).
Basic familiarity with AI enabled application patterns, such as: Integrating hosted AI services or APIs, Using AI for data processing, search, or automation use cases
Ability to evaluate AI tools pragmatically, understanding benefits, limitations, and responsible use within enterprise and client contexts.
Willingness to continuously upskill as AI tooling and platforms evolve
Owns complex and/or ambiguous features end to end, drives technical decisions within scope, and mentors others through that ambiguity.
Communicates clearly with both technical and non technical stakeholders.
Comfortable working across multiple projects or domains as GE NA demand shifts.
Balances delivery speed with code quality, stability, and long term maintainability.
Contributes positively to team culture and knowledge sharing.
Typically 7+ years of professional software development experience (or equivalent demonstrated capability).
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field preferred, or equivalent practical experience.
Relevant technical certifications (cloud, DevOps, etc.) are a plus but not required.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with workflow and event-driven patterns such as Step Functions/EventBridge is a plus
Familiarity with additional clouds is a plus, but depth in one platform is preferred over shallow exposure to many
IDP experience is a nice to have

Responsibilities

Design, implement, test, and maintain production grade full-stack software (React UI + Node.js services) aligned with business and technical requirements.
Contribute across the full software development lifecycle, including analysis, design, estimation, development, automated testing, CI/CD-driven deployment, and production support.
Actively participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decision making, providing clear rationale and trade off analysis.
Build and maintain reliable, secure, and performant applications and services on AWS, including REST/JSON API integrations (often using Amazon API Gateway and AWS Lambda) and secure access patterns.
Implement operability and observability practices (logging, metrics, monitoring/alerting) and use tools such as Amazon CloudWatch to troubleshoot issues across development, test, and production environments.
Collaborate closely with product owners, architects, DevOps, and other engineers to deliver complete solutions.
Mentor junior and mid level developers through code reviews, pairing, and technical guidance.
Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering practices, including automation, CI/CD, testing, and operational maturity.
