- Take features from design and technical RFCs through development, automated testing, CI/CD, and production deployment
- Lead impactful code reviews, mentor teammates, and refine operational standards like observability, telemetry, and alerting
- Identify bottlenecks across storage, databases, and network layers to keep platform latency minimal as the platform scales
You'll own features end-to-end, writing functional, automated, and scalable code that operates seamlessly within cloud infrastructure and is efficiently monitored.
Requirements:
- 3+ years of hands-on experience building production-grade backend systems
- Strong proficiency in at least one modern language/runtime: TypeScript, Node.js, or Go
- Experience architecting and deploying services on AWS (e.g., Lambda, ECS/EKS, DynamoDB, SQS/SNS, RDS)
- Practical understanding of distributed systems, API design (REST/GraphQL/gRPC), caching strategies, and telemetry (Datadog, OpenTelemetry, etc.)
- Strong commitment to automated testing (unit, integration, e2e) and continuous deployment practices
- Excellent asynchronous communication skills and a preference for building iteratively in agile environments
