Senior Software Engineer

About The Role

We’re seeking a driven Senior Full Stack Engineer whose core expertise lies in modern TypeScript-based front-end development (React) and building robust Node.js APIs that leverage AWS services. You’ll lead end-to-end feature development on our new cloud platform: designing UI components, authoring backend endpoints, and integrating with AWS resources. Familiarity with Java/Spring Boot is a welcome plus as our legacy system is build on this: we value your React/Node/AWS experience above all.

This is a high-impact role: you’ll architect and build new services, establish best practices, and help shape the future of our platform. You’ll collaborate directly with the founder and cross-functional teams, take ownership of technical decisions, and mentor others as we grow.

What You’ll Do

• Frontend Engineering

• Build responsive, accessible UIs using React with TypeScript

• Architect scalable component libraries and design systems

• Implement front-end testing (Jest, React Testing Library) and CI workflows

• Backend/API Development

• Design, build, and maintain RESTful and GraphQL APIs in Node.js (Express, Serverless)

• Integrate APIs with AWS services (Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, S3, RDS/DynamoDB)

• Optimize performance, security, and cost across your services

• Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps

• Deploy and monitor applications in AWS

• Automate releases with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CodePipeline)

• Leverage Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation)

• Collaboration & Ownership

• Partner with product, design, and QA to deliver high-quality features

• Lead code reviews, pair programming sessions, and design discussions

• Mentor junior engineers and evangelize best practices

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React (TypeScript), Redux/Context, CSS-in-JS or Tailwind
• Backend: Node.js (Express, Serverless Framework)
• APIs: REST, GraphQL
• Database & Storage: PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, S3
• Cloud & DevOps: AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch), Terraform/CloudFormation
• Plus (Nice to Have): Java (Spring Boot) legacy system experience

You Might Be a Fit If You…

• Have 5+ years as a full stack developer with a strong emphasis on React/TypeScript and Node.js
• Built and maintained production services on AWS, from Lambda functions to managed databases
• Write clean, tested, maintainable code and enjoy automating deployment pipelines
• Thrive in a fast-paced, remote team and take initiative to drive projects forward
• Value collaborative engineering practices: agile ceremonies, code reviews, and shared ownership
• Hold an AWS Certification (e.g., Solutions Architect, Developer) — or are eager to earn one

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with Java/Spring Boot (legacy platform support or migration)
• Experience with containerization (Docker, ECS/EKS)
• Background in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CDK)
• Worked on migrating monoliths to microservices or serverless architectures

Position Details

• Location: Remote (US-Based, EST core hours preferred; flexible)
• Engagement: Full-time
• Start Date: Flexible within 30 days
• Compensation: Competitive, based on experience
