Requirements

  • 7+ years of web development experience, including 3+ years in technical leadership or team management.

  • Strong command of SQL (Aurora, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (DynamoDB), including caching and query optimization.
  • Mastery of TypeScript/Node.js.
  • Experience with observability tools (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, CloudWatch, ELK) and maintain a strong culture of monitoring and alerting for mission-critical systems.
  • Advanced cybersecurity expertise: secrets management, compliance (SOC 2, GDPR), security auditing, and cloud security best practices.
  • Enthusiasm for adopting AI coding tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot) to boost productivity without compromising quality or security.
  • Embrace full ownership: 24/7 platform stability, incident management, and resilience of critical systems.
