  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues
  • Collaborate with cross-functional team members including product, data, and engineering
  • Contribute to data modelling and system design decisions
  • Ensure solutions are secure, performant, and maintainable

Requirements

  • Strong backend development experience using Node.js
  • Solid understanding of API design and development
  • Experience working across the full software development lifecycle
  • Strong knowledge of AWS or cloud-based environments
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices
  • Proven ability to write and maintain automated tests
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently
