You’ll work across the stack—from front-end interfaces to back-end services—using a modern technology suite in a Kubernetes-based environment. This role blends hands-on development with architectural thinking, and emphasizes performance, security, and maintainability. Our platform is built on key principles: API-First Design, Event-Driven Communication, Security by Design, Separation of Concerns, Scalability, and Observability.
🔍 Key Responsibilities
  • Design, develop, and maintain full stack applications using TypeScript, React, and Node.js
  • Build and optimize RESTful APIs following API-First Design principles
  • Implement event-driven communication using Redis Streams
  • Integrate role-based access control (RBAC) across the application stack
  • Ensure clear service boundaries and maintain Separation of Concerns
  • Develop horizontally scalable services and data stores to support growth
  • Enhance performance through caching strategies using Amazon ElastiCache (Redis)
  • Implement logging, monitoring, and tracing using tools like CloudWatch or Prometheus
  • Deploy and manage applications in Kubernetes environments via Amazon EKS
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and deliver new features
  • Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following best practices
  • Participate in code reviews, testing, and debugging to ensure high-quality deliverables
  • Contribute to architectural decisions aligned with platform principles
🧠 Required Skills and Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • 8+ years of experience in full stack development with TypeScript, React, and Node.js
  • Strong experience building RESTful APIs and working with event-driven systems
  • Hands-on experience with Aurora PostgreSQL and DynamoDB
  • Familiarity with Redis and caching strategies
  • Experience deploying applications on AWS using Amazon EKS and Kubernetes
  • Solid understanding of containerization, orchestration, and horizontal scaling
  • Knowledge of RBAC and cloud-native security best practices
  • Proficient in Git and CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience with observability tools (e.g., CloudWatch, Prometheus)
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
🌟 Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with microservices architecture and related components (e.g., API gateways, workflow engines, messaging systems)
  • Familiarity with Redis Streams for asynchronous communication
  • AWS certifications (e.g., Developer, Solutions Architect)
  • Experience with GraphQL and advanced API design
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, AWS CDK)
  • Knowledge of security best practices for cloud-native applications
