This is an individual contributor role ideal for someone who excels in a high-impact environment, enjoys deep technical challenges, and has a history of innovative problem-solving. The successful candidate will draw on extensive experience with technologies like Docker, DynamoDB, ECS, AWS Lambda, NodeJS, S3, and SQS to architect and refine state-of-the-art software solutions.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Serve as a technical leader within the engineering division, focused on advancing system architecture, enhancing software development practices, and optimizing infrastructure efficiency across multiple environments.
  • Spearhead the development and scaling of our advanced cloud-based platform leveraging top-tier technologies including Docker, DynamoDB, ECS, AWS Lambda, NodeJS, S3, and SQS.
  • Architect and validate a cloud-agnostic model that will serve as the backbone for our platform’s infrastructure, facilitating robust development of its core components.
  • Independently design and develop comprehensive SDKs that amplify API functionalities and streamline integration processes using TypeScript.
  • Engage in continuous research, development, and testing to ensure solutions are scalable, reliable, and secure.
  • Offer mentorship and guidance to engineering team members, providing technical advice and support to foster a culture of technical excellence and innovation.
  • Lead the innovation and implementation of automation tools and processes that improve setup, development, and deployment efficiencies.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies and engineering practices for potential adoption to keep the platform ahead of the curve.

Requirements

What You Bring to the Role:

  • 12+ years of extensive engineering experience in software and systems development with a proven record of designing high-scale internet products.
  • Extensive expertise in full-stack development, particularly with JavaScript, Node.js, and RESTful API integration in a cloud environment.
  • Demonstrable experience with Docker, AWS services (ECS, Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, SQS), and both local and cloud-based infrastructure setups.
  • Strong foundation in serverless computing and containerization technologies.
  • Ability to work independently as a strong individual contributor with a strategic mindset and attention to the long-term impact of engineering decisions.
  • Exceptional problem-solving skills and technical leadership capabilities.
  • Excellent communication skills for effectively articulating complex technical details and collaborating with cross-functional teams.
  • A mentorship approach, capable of organically fostering growth and learning within the engineering team without formal managerial responsibilities.
  • Commitment to staying informed about the latest industry trends, tools, and technologies.

Plus:

  • Experience with TypeScript, tooling improvements (e.g., Bash, JavaScript tooling), and automating workflows (AWS EventBridge, GitHub Actions).
  • Knowledge and experience with front-end technologies to ensure collaborative synergy across tech teams.
